Carbon tax is a tax levied by the government on greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon tax can be collected according to emissions, or it can be achieved by taxing carbon emission sources such as fossil fuels. By pricing emission behaviors, carbon tax provides economic incentives for emission reduction actions, encouraging companies and individuals to adopt environmental protection measures to reduce carbon emissions.
