英文摘要 |
As climate change and environmental issues become increasingly severe, environmental topics such as carbon reduction, net zero, and sustainable transformation are gradually gaining attention from governments worldwide. To achieve net-zero and sustainable development goals, many countries in recent years have introduced climate policies such as carbon border adjustment mechanisms, carbon pricing, and sustainable finance. However, these rapidly developing climate policies have also raised concerns about the potential for green inflation.
This report first examines the causes and effects of inflation from an economic perspective, further defining green inflation. Next, through case studies of international organizations and major economic countries, it discusses the global attention and development status of green inflation. It also consolidates the methods and results of green inflation assessments in countries and regions that have implemented carbon pricing systems. Finally, it gathers policies related to green inflation from various countries for reference by executing agencies.
By analyzing the major economies’ policy responses on green inflation, it is evident that countries have different levels of awareness and varying attitudes toward potential impacts. This leads to differences in the policy tools they adopt when proposing strategies. In addition, the report studies international assessments of green inflation, develops estimation tools and methodologies for domestic green inflation, and uses carbon fees as an example for evaluation. Based on the assumption that all entities subject to carbon fees submit no self-determined reduction plans and pay a carbon fee of 300 NTD/ton CO2e, the evaluation shows that the impact on consumer prices is approximately 0.07%.
