How Carbon Pricing Can Save the World | Johan Eyckmans | TEDxKULeuvenBrussels

Most people probably don't spend their off days thinking about the possibilities that carbon pricing brings to solving global warming. But some do. Johan, who is one of these people, tells us why carbon pricing, although counter intuitive, is actually a very efficient policy tool to solve climate issues while increasing overall welfare for everyone involved. Johan Eyckmans studied economics at the University of Antwerp and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. In 1997 he obtained a Ph.D. from the faculty of economics and business of KU Leuven on the incentives of nations to form international environmental agreements. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
