About State and Trends of Carbon Pricing
Carbon pricing is an important tool to mobilize finance and secure development outcomes. Today, about 28% of global greenhouse gas emissions are covered by a direct carbon price, and jurisdictions representing two-thirds of global GDP have adopted carbon taxes or emissions trading systems.
New analysis in the 2025 State and Trends of Carbon Pricing report highlights how governments are leveraging carbon pricing to support fiscal stability, encourage innovation, and attract investment—especially in developing economies. Drawing on compliance instruments (ETSs and carbon taxes) and carbon crediting data, the report offers evidence-based insights into policies and market developments.
