Managing the distributional effects of environmental and climate policies
The narrow path for a triple dividend
This paper reviews the literature on the distributional effects of environmental and
climate policies, focusing on ex-post empirical evidence. It decomposes the distributional
effects into the main dimensions to understand which policy packages are more likely
to achieve a triple dividend of environmental effectiveness, economic efficiency and
equity. This paper also takes stock of the related literature on the political acceptability
of environmental policies to assess proposals of compensation policy packages, including
green recovery plans, environmental tax reforms and progressive subsidies to green
technologies.
