"Carbon-taxation of food consumption: A global perspective" by Bouyssou, Clara G., Marco Springmann, Francesco Clora, Jørgen Dejgård Jensen and Wusheng Yu Abstract Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from food systems is a necessary step to achieve net zero targets and ensure that food systems remain within planetary boundaries. Climate policy in the agri-food sector has been neglected more than in other sectors due to food security concerns. This could however change as some countries face high incentives to internalize GHG emissions from the food system. In this paper we analyze the potential effects of a GHG tax in food consumption designing scenarios with country coverages depending on the level of incentives to apply the tax, considering potential leakage, and redistributing the social cost of carbon using the common but differentiated responsibility principle. We build upon previous literature and design a three-stage procedure that considers cross-price effects at the food product level, general equilibrium effects, and GHG and health outcomes. |
