Taxe carbone, permis d’émission, mécanisme d’ajustement aux frontières... de quoi parle-t-on justement ?

Afaf Zarkik & Dominique Bocquet

La lutte contre les émissions de carbone fait appel à deux familles d’instruments : la réglementation, qui consiste à imposer des normes obligatoires lorsque cela est possible et les incitations notamment économiques : c’est-à-dire la tarification carbone ou le « carbon pricing ». Ces dernières sont jugées plus efficaces économiquement mais elles se répartissent elles-mêmes en différentes catégories : taxe carbone, permis d’émission, mécanisme d’ajustement aux frontières. Ces notions sont souvent confondues, ce qui nuit à la compréhension des enjeux. Parmi ces enjeux, l’acceptation par les populations des différents est un aspect de plus en plus crucial. Ce podcast a pour but de clarifier ces notions essentielles afin de préparer le continent africain aux futurs débats climatiques.

    Nothing better illustrates the positive contribution of the integration of national economies into global value chains than the fact that in the 1990s, the automotive sector barely existed in Morocco. Now, it is the leading export sector, with a production and assembly capacity of 700,000 vehicles, making it an attractive and competitive hub linking Africa and Europe in the automotive value chain. However, the automotive industry is on the cusp of change, with advances in electric a ...

    In May 2021, the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) report Net Zero by 2050 stated that there is no need for new investments in oil and gas fields in their net zero pathway[1]. The message was clear: place your next investments in clean energy sources and energy efficiency. However, the IEA’s Africa Energy Outlook 2022 stated that Africa’s industrialisation relies in expanding the use of natural gas[2]. Even the IEA executive director Fatih Birol said, “if we make a list of the top ...
