- Carbon pricing coverage is expanding but remains uneven: The OECD finds that while more countries are adopting carbon pricing mechanisms, only 45% of emissions in the 72 countries studied are priced, and just 14% face rates aligned with the Paris Agreement’s €60/tonne benchmark.
- Effective carbon rates vary widely across sectors and countries: The report highlights significant disparities, with electricity and road transport facing higher rates, while industry and agriculture often remain underpriced or exempt, undermining climate policy consistency.
- Policy recommendations urge broader and stronger carbon pricing: To meet climate goals, the OECD calls for closing coverage gaps, raising carbon prices, and aligning tax and trading systems to ensure fair, efficient, and impactful decarbonization strategies.
