Costaria Climate Policy Lab — Cap & Trade vs Carbon Tax

Design a policy package for Costaria to deliver its Paris NDC of -30% emissions by 2035. Choose between carbon tax, cap-and-trade, or a hybrid; calibrate price, coverage, revenue use, border adjustment, and clean-tech R&D subsidy. Discover that the right answer is not tax-vs-cap — it is the policy mix.
