Carbon and its social cost in Latin America
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to provide a summary of estimates of the social cost of carbon (CSC) with a view toward public policies concerning climate change in Latin America.
Models CSC seeking to have an estimate of the social, economic and environmental cost of climate change resulting from emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere caused by economic activities affecting ecosystems and general welfare of the population of the planet. It is useful to identify the CSC as a mechanism in the construction of public policies on climate change and sustainable development.
