Dear MEL Topic Readers,
1,500 policies to fix global warming were implemented in 41 countries.
Here are the ones that worked best
Many policies have been introduced and implemented to reduce
planet-heating pollution, including incentives for EVs, taxes on fossil fuels, and
closures of coal power plants. But which policies have worked better to curb
global warming and conserve the environment? A newly conducted research analyzed
the effectiveness of 1,500 climate policies across 41 countries over the past
two decades and found that 63 policies significantly reduced climate pollution
by themselves or combined with other policies. One surprising finding was that
those policies are more effective if they are implemented with other policies. For
example, tax breaks for low-carbon vehicles in the USA reduced greenhouse gas
emissions significantly when fuel efficiency standards were reformed at the
same time. It also found that taxation seems to have good effects on the environment despite its unpopularity. If you do it, do it right.
Read the article and learn how to make climate policies work better.
