The system imposes a carbon tax on the sale of fossil fuels, and then distributes the revenue of this tax over the entire population (equally, on a per-person basis) as a monthly income or regular payment.
A carbon tariff or carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) is an eco-tariff on embedded carbon. [1] In 2024 the United States said it is not a carbon tax, [2] but the World Trade Organization is dysfunctional so is unable to agree or disagree. [3] One aim to prevent carbon leakage from nations without a carbon price. [1]

Forestry carbon credits are based on the measurement of forest growth, which is converted into carbon emission reduction measurements by government ecological and forestry offices. [115] Owners of forests (who are typically rural families or rural villages ) receive carbon tickets (碳票; tan piao ) which are tradeable securities.
