Abstract

Abstract In the last two decades, carbon pricing has contributed on consolidating a normative consensus of responding to the problem of climate change with economic instruments. The article explores the consensus about carbon pricing and its neoliberal rationality and argues that this turn to economics helps to explain its limited results, as it ties climate policies to private interests, despite of its poor outcomes.Resumo Nas duas últimas décadas, consolidou-se um consenso normativo de resposta ao problema das mudanças climáticas por meio de instrumentos econômicos. O artigo relaciona o consenso em torno da precificação do carbono à racionalidade neoliberal e argumenta que esta ênfase na economia ajuda a explicar os resultados limitados da precificação de carbono, uma vez que vincula as políticas climáticas a interesses privados, independentemente de seus efeitos concretos para a redução de emissões.
