Ad oggi i cambiamenti climatici rappresentano sempre più un rischio per le attività economiche e sociali svolte dalle varie comunità umane nel mondo; cuore di questi cambiamenti è il surriscaldamento globale, indotto da un’incontrollata ed eccessiva emissione da parte dell’uomo di CO2 nell’atmosfera. Varie misure, accordi e tecnologie sono già state adottate per cercare di contrastare questa tendenza ma i dati in nostro possesso oggi ci dicono che ciò non è sufficiente. Serve un cambio di paradigma e serve che quest’ultimo sia guidato dal settore pubblico, il quale deve applicare degli strumenti per far sì che i principali attori che emettono C02 nell’atmosfera siano spinti a diminuire le proprie emissioni attraverso un sistema di incentivi (non per forza pecuniari, immediati o specificatamente indirizzati ad un soggetto) che possa rendere addirittura conveniente questa scelta. L’obiettivo di questo studio è capire se due strumenti molto poco dibattuti, tassa sul carbonio ed il sistema di trading delle emissioni, se ben pensati ed applicati possano aiutare ad invertire la tendenza sopracitata, cercando di capire se sono possibili evoluzioni di tali misure che permettano anche una ricaduta positiva sull’intera comunità in questione (ad esempio andando ad ipotizzare i così detti dividendi del carbonio).

Abstract
To date, climate change increasingly represents a risk for the economic and social activities carried out by the various human communities in the world; at the heart of these changes is global warming, induced by an uncontrolled and excessive emission by man of CO2 into the atmosphere. Various measures, agreements and technologies have already been adopted to try to counter this trend but the data we have today tells us that this is not enough. We need a paradigm shift and we need the latter to be guided by the public sector, which is thinking of tools to ensure that the main players emitting C02 into the atmosphere are pushed to reduce their emissions through a system of incentives (not necessarily pecuniary, immediate or specifically aimed at a subject) that can even make this choice convenient. The goal of this study is to understand whether two very little debated instruments, carbon tax and the emissions trading system, if well thought out and applied, can help reverse the above-mentioned trend, trying to understand whether evolutions of these measures are possible which also allow a positive impact on the entire community in question (for example by hypothesizing the so-called carbon dividends).| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
