Policymakers frequently voice concerns that carbon pricing could impair economic development in the short run, especially in low-income countries such as Uganda. Using a consumer demand system for energy and food items, this analysis examines how households’ welfare, and demand for food and energy, would respond to a carbon price of USD40/tCO2. Findings indicate welfare losses of 0.2–12 per cent of household expenditure on food and fuel, due to the carbon price.
Countries with intensive mineral extraction generate resource windfalls for municipalities to improve population's welfare in mining areas. However, this process may be inefficient due to negative incentives inherent in their administration, moving away from the actual objective of these resources. This study analyzes the level of technical efficiency over the provision of public goods, namely public education and well-being in Chilean municipalities using a panel approach.
Carbon pricing has recently gained further momentum from the European Union (EU)'s plan for the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The CBAM aims to align the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission costs in imported products with those within the EU. CBAM will affect foreign producers in targeted sectors, incentivizing them to employ low-emission technology, and encouraging trading partners to implement carbon pricing akin to the EU's.

Exposure to hazardous chemicals in consumer products poses significant risks to personal health and the environment, and the combined effects may be negative even if each individual exposure is low. This necessitates informed and effective policies for risk reduction.
