Limits of carbon pricing in a climate-changing world

Limites da precificação de carbono num mundo em mudança climática

Abstract

In the last two decades, carbon pricing has contributed on consolidating a normative consensus of responding to the problem of climate change with economic instruments. The article explores the consensus about carbon pricing and its neoliberal rationality and argues that this turn to economics helps to explain its limited results, as it ties climate policies to private interests, despite of its poor outcomes.

Keywords:
Carbon pricing; Climate change; Neoliberal rationality
