While some suggest the best way to combat climate change is by having a carbon tax on large corporations’ activities, others think that individuals paying tax on their own carbon footprints will have a greater impact. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

To tackle climate change some think that
carbon
tax should be levied on big companies' projects. Others suggest taxing a person's carbon
footprint is a better approach. While
individual taxes are a good idea for generating awareness, I believe carbon
-taxing multinational institutions make more sense because they pollute our environment the most.
Levying carbon
duties on individual purchases is one way to fight the effect of climatic irregularities. More people knowingly or unknowingly are contributing to the cause. This
further
sheds light on the global issue, which is being increasingly ignored. The growing popularity in itself will ensure that others grow increasingly conscious, and in turn, limit their carbon
expenditure. For example
, India has introduced a policy of tax benefits on interest on every loan taken against the purchase of an electric vehicle. Through this
move, the country has seen a significant price uptick in eco-friendly cars and bikes. However
, I believe this
is not enough, instead
, large organizations should be taxed heavily on their carbon
exhaustions.
Large companies require a great amount of energy to run. This
energy is produced by the burning of non-renewable energy sources, which has disastrous consequences on nature. If we can stop this
from happening, and ensure that they turn to renewable energies, then
most of our work would be done. For instance
, if regulatory authorities tax the industries running on thermal powerplants, in that case, their cost per unit also
increases, thereby bringing down profits. The moment this
is caught in their P&L statements, they'll eventually look for economic alternatives. This
is why, I believe that the key to combatting sudden floods, tsunamis, droughts, wildfires etc is by placing these agents of pollution under carbon
duties.
In conclusion, introducing tariffs on MNCs for every carbon
expenditure should be adopted. And the idea of this
to be done on an individual level is flawed.Submitted by majumdarnilesh21 on
