Facilitating Socially Just Carbon Pricing Policies in Central and Eastern Europe

Project “Just Carbon Pricing” aims to strengthen the knowledge base on carbon pricing for mobility and heating across Europe, in particular Poland and Romania. The research, as part of the project, seeks to better understand the potential adverse impacts of carbon pricing on different groups and find appropriate avenues to address them.
