Answer 1

Encouraging Emission Reduction: Carbon pricing discourages excessive emissions by making polluters pay for their carbon output. 
Economic Efficiency: It provides economic incentives for firms to adopt cleaner technologies and energy-efficient processes. 
Revenue Generation: Governments can use the revenue generated from carbon pricing to fund climate mitigation efforts and sustainable development. 
Global Climate Goals: Carbon pricing aligns with international climate agreements and helps achieve emission reduction targets.
