English Abstract
The decoupling of Kyoto Protocol from the economic sphere has opened the door to all kinds of deals that undermined its consistency.
The withdrawal of USA and the absence of any commitment of emerging great emitters left more than 50 % of emissions sources out of the agreement.
In Europe grandfathering allowances approach, and many other shortcomings in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) does not lead to deliver a signal to innovation and then significant changes.
Because of the uncertainties which mark out the climatic damages, the main drivers of CO2 emissions and the scientific knowledge, the choice of a tax to curb CO2 emissions is more recommended. Being the dominant gas with a share of 63 % in atmospheric greenhouse gases concentrations, we focus only in CO2.
Emissions from fossil fuels combustion.
The study shows technical, economic and political feasibility of uniform carbon tax and tests it application in OECD countries with starting point of $25 per ton of CO2 from 2012 increasing yearly by 3 %.
This would mobilize the overwhelming existing emissions reduction potential.
The net revenue generated by the tax over time covers the needs of adaptation in developing countries, support mitigation pathway for 450ppm scenario towards national commitment plans, mainly in emergent countries, and Research & Development.
The developed approach to control CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels along this work is based on economically parameters and sounds criteria in addition to equity principle.
These conditions are prerequisite to its eventual politically pertinence and gathering a large consensus.
This requires further simulations and support.
