Citizens’ Climate International (CCI) was named in The World Bank’s annual report, titled “Carbon Pricing Leadership Report 2021-22.” The CPLC Leadership Report covers the latest developments in carbon legislation, technology, tools, and advocacy. 

The Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition is described as a “voluntary initiative that brings together leaders from government, business, civil society, and academia to enhance global understanding of carbon pricing as a tool for accelerating and financing effective climate action.”

In this report, CCI is flagged on page 35 for supporting climate income. 

“Citizens’ Climate International (CCI) believes countries — and indeed the planet — need carbon pricing that covers all emissions, is administratively coherent and transparent, and puts a steadily intensifying cost on polluters, while enhancing the economic opportunities of households and communities,” the report explains. “This is why CCI supports climate income — the return of revenues to households while carbon fees steadily rise will help ensure that the escalating price signal is felt most directly by polluting industries.”

Joe Robertson, Executive Director of CCI, emphasizes the importance of this recognition.

“This feature is the most visible billing The World Bank has ever given to climate income or carbon fee and dividend,” Joe said. “It will be circulated to all CPLC member organizations and governments, and may also be distributed in print at upcoming events like the Innovate4Climate Summit, World Bank Annual meetings in October, or COP27 in November.”
