World Bank Report Details Global Carbon Pricing Trends and Financial Implications

The report recorded 87 direct carbon pricing policies worldwide, covering more than 29 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Why it matters
These carbon pricing mechanisms generated more than $107 billion in government revenue in 2025, with an average direct carbon price of nearly $21 per tonne of CO2 equivalent. The report suggests that banks must assess when the resulting carbon value is sufficiently certain to be recognized in lending decisions.
