The Citizens Climate Lobby, in the UK and around the World, has traditionally campaigned for a specific form of carbon pricing and revenue recycling. We call it “Climate Income” but it also goes by the name of “Carbon Fee and Dividend” or “Carbon Dividends“.
The idea is simple. The emission’s tax is applied directly to fossil fuels when they are imported into or extracted within the UK. The resulting revenues are then all returned as identical payments to all UK citizens. You can find out much more about climate income by reading our extensive analyses and discussions on this web site.
Climate Income remains CCL-UK’s preferred method for implementing carbon pricing and revenue recycling but we also endorse alternate approaches advocated by other organizations that agree with our general aim of a people-friendly tax on emissions.
