- Description
- Anthropogenic climate change, driven by the large-scale emission of greenhouse gases since the 18th century, can be traced to a market failure whereby polluters have not paid for the impacts of polluting. One estimate of the cost of greenhouse gas emissions is the Social Cost of Carbon Dioxide (SC-CO₂). We describe the legal and policy frameworks where the SC-CO₂ has been used as well as the modelling and methods for estimating the SC-CO₂. We indicate how the disciplines of law, economics, and climate science might collaborate to better address the emerging challenges posed by global warming.
