This guide provides an overview of these benefits to help policy makers advance a variety of sustainable development objectives in their own countries and around the world. Carbon prices are broadly recognized as necessary for correcting market failures that arise from pollution externalities, because the prices paid for using fossil fuels do not come close to compensating society for the costs that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions impose on society. Where there is a divergence between (externality-based) social costs and private values, carbon pricing is an essential environmental policy tool. The purpose of this guide is to help policy makers identify and measure carbon-pricing benefits. In particular, it provides insights into how to incorporate benefits into computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling. 2021-05-27T13:11:55Z 2021-05-27T13:11:55Z 2021-05-26 REPORT http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/685731622037838059/Beyond-Mitigation-Quantifying-the-Development-Benefits-of-Carbon-Pricing http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35624 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC: World Bank Report Publications & Research The World Region
