Three Paths to Decarbonization
The climate crisis demands effective policy solutions. This dashboard analyzes three dominant frameworks: Carbon Offsets, which compensate for emissions; Carbon Pricing, which puts a cost on pollution; and the Green New Deal, a plan for systemic transformation. Explore each approach to understand its mechanisms, effectiveness, and real-world impact.
🔄 Carbon Offsets
Compensate for emissions by funding reduction projects elsewhere. A flexible but controversial tool.
💰 Carbon Pricing
Make polluters pay via a tax or a trading system to incentivize change across the economy.
🏛️ Green New Deal
A government-led mobilization to build a green economy and address social inequality.
Synthesis: The Power of Hybrid Models
The report concludes that no single policy is a panacea. The most effective path forward lies in pragmatically combining the strengths of each approach. A robust strategy involves a rising carbon price to drive incentives, a Green New Deal-style investment program to ensure a just transition, and a high-integrity market for permanent carbon removals to tackle the hardest-to-abate emissions.
