carbon dividends

Carbon dividends refer to payments made to individuals or households from a carbon pricing system, where companies pay a fee for their carbon dioxide emissions. This approach aims to encourage lower carbon emissions by making polluters financially accountable. The revenue generated from these fees is then redistributed to citizens as dividends, effectively providing a financial incentive to reduce carbon output. By doing so, it helps address climate change while supporting the economy and protecting lower-income households from rising energy costs. The goal is to create a sustainable environment while also helping people financially.
