Chapter 8 in Tietenberg and Lewis looks at climate change, the most important environmental issue of our time. Economists generally agree that putting a price on carbon is the best approach to reducing climate warming carbon emissions. The two main strategies for doing this are carbon taxes and the cap and trade version of emissions trading. Discuss the pros and cons to these two approaches to pricing carbon. Why do economists favor these kinds of market-based strategies to pollution control over “command and control” approaches such technology standards?
Economists offer two major potential policies to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions: pollution taxes and cap-and-trade programs.
Which do you think would be most effective at reducing emissions? Discuss the pros and cons of each, as well as the difference between the two policies.

To provide a summary of the main changes brought in by ULEZ, I will refer to the information from the BBC News article and the research briefing from the UK Parliament's Commons Library.According to the BBC News article, the ULEZ policy was introduced in London in April 2019 and expanded in October 2021. The main change brought by ULEZ is the requirement for vehicles entering the zone to meet strict emission standards. Petrol vehicles must meet Euro 4 standards, while diesel vehicles must meet Euro 6 standards. Non-compliant vehicles are subject to a daily charge. The ULEZ policy aims to improve air quality and reduce harmful emissions, particularly nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter.One potential benefit expected to arise from the introduction of ULEZ is the improvement in air quality.
