Tackling Climate Crisis: Do Personal Carbon Allowances Hold the Key?
Manage episode 380805010 series 2805813
In this week's episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I talked personal carbon allowances with Prof Denise Baden from Southampton University and Associate Prof Tina Fawcett from Oxford University.
Episode highlights:
- Carbon Allowances: Denise and Tina explained why such a system, could be a key player in our fight against climate change.
- Incentivizing Low Carbon Choices: We explored the potential of creating economies of scale for low carbon products.
- Fairness and Implementation: While there are hurdles, the potential benefits in terms of encouraging sustainable choices can't be overlooked.
Key Takeaways:
- Historical Parallels: Comparisons to the EU ETS scheme demonstrate that, persistence could result in tangible benefits.
- Net-Zero Transition Tool: If successful, this scheme could exist for about 20 years or so, guiding us towards net-zero and then retiring once we get there.
- The Struggle of Vested Interests: However, high-carbon lifestyle enthusiasts might not welcome this change with open arms.
