Abstract

The economic effects of climate change policies have become a significant topic of discussion in contemporary discourse. This paper examines the multifaceted economic impacts of climate change policies, including their potential benefits and drawbacks. It analyzes how such policies, designed to mitigate climate change, influence various economic sectors, such as energy, agriculture, and industry. The study explores the effectiveness of carbon pricing mechanisms, renewable energy subsidies, and other regulatory measures in reducing greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring economic stability and growth. Furthermore, it investigates the distributional effects of these policies, considering the implications for different income groups and regions. The paper concludes by discussing the need for a balanced approach to climate change policies that maximizes economic benefits while minimizing adverse effects.
