Abstract

An ensemble of green industrial policies and targeted subsidies, coupled with a mild carbon tax, is the most promising strategy to support an orderly transition towards achieving the Paris Agreement targets. Such a policy package can be designed to have a neutral effect on public finances and boost job creation, while preserving economic stability and income growth.
