This online course is designed to provide a solid introduction to carbon pricing mechanisms, such as carbon taxes, emissions trading schemes, and offsetting mechanisms. It will also examine the rationale behind carbon pricing, the scope and landscape of available environmental and resource economic instruments, and focus on the specific role that carbon taxation plays in energy projects.

The three major carbon pricing mechanisms will be explained in detail, including their main principles, success factors, and barriers. Participants will analyze lessons learned, as well as the effectiveness and applicability of carbon tax credits. The course concludes with a practical chapter focused on implementing carbon taxation mechanisms.
