TOP 15 COUNTRIES BY CARBON TAX REVENUE
This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS
or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted
sources.
Carbon taxes are designed to discourage CO2 emissions by increasing the cost of
carbon-intensive activities and incentivizing the adoption of cleaner energy
alternatives.
In this graphic we list the top 15 countries by carbon tax revenue as of 2022.
The data is from the World Bank’s State and Trends of Carbon Pricing Report,
published in April 2023.
FRANCE AND CANADA LEAD IN GLOBAL CARBON TAX REVENUE
In 2022, the top 15 countries generated approximately $30 billion in revenue
from carbon taxes.
France and Canada lead in this regard, accounting for over half of the total
amount. Both countries have implemented comprehensive carbon pricing systems
that cover a wide range of sectors, including transportation and industry, and
they have set relatively high carbon tax rates.
CountryGovernment revenue
in 2022 ($ billions) France$8.9 Canada$7.8 Sweden$2.3 Norway$2.1 Japan$1.8
Finland$1.7 Switzerland$1.6 United Kingdom$0.9 Ireland$0.7 Denmark$0.5
Portugal$0.5 Argentina$0.3 Mexico$0.2 Singapore$0.1 South Africa$0.1
In Canada, the total carbon tax revenue includes both national and provincial
taxes.
While carbon pricing has been recognized internationally as one of the more
efficient mechanisms for reducing CO2 emissions, research is divided over what
the global average carbon price should be to achieve the goals of the Paris
Climate Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to 1.5–2°C by 2100
relative to pre-industrial levels.
A recent study has shown that carbon pricing must be supported by other policy
measures and innovations. According to a report from Queen’s University, there
is no feasible carbon pricing scenario that is high enough to limit emissions
sufficiently to achieve anything below 2.4°C warming on its own.

VISUALIZING THE MOST AIR POLLUTED COUNTRIES IN 2023
This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free
on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of
trusted sources.
Almost the entire global population breathes air that exceeds the air quality
limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO).
In this graphic, we map the world’s most polluted countries according to IQAir,
ranked by their annual average PM2.5 concentration (μg/m³) in 2023. The unit
μg/m³ refers to micrograms per cubic meter.
WHAT IS PM2.5?
PM2.5 refers to fine particulate matter, with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or
less, that can travel deep into your lungs and cause health problems.
In 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) updated its air quality guidelines
for PM2.5. The recommended maximum annual average level for PM2.5 is now 5
μg/m³, down from the previous target of 10 μg/m³.
Common sources of PM2.5 pollution include engine exhaust, power plant
combustion, smoke from fires, dust, and dirt.
HOW DOES PM2.5 POLLUTION AFFECT HUMANS?
Research published in 2022 from the Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) found that
97.3% of the world’s population is exposed to levels of PM2.5 that exceed the
WHO guidelines.
This takes 2.2 years off the global average life expectancy, relative to a world
that met the WHO guideline.
In South Asia specifically, the AQLI believes residents could be losing up to 5
years off their lives. The region has been a global hotspot of air pollution for
years, home to 37 of the 40 most polluted cities in the world.
RankCountryAnnual average
PM2.5 concentration 1 Bangladesh79.9 2 Pakistan73.7 3 India54.4 4 Tajikistan49.0
5 Burkina Faso46.6 6 Iraq43.8 7 United Arab Emirates43.0 8 Nepal42.4 9 Egypt42.4

Qatar37.6 14 Indonesia37.1 15 Rwanda36.8 16 Zimbabwe33.3 17 Ghana33.2 18
Kyrgyzstan33.1 19 China32.5 20 Libya30.4
Interestingly, fine particulate matter can travel hundreds of kilometers, often
crossing national boundaries.
For instance, approximately 30% of air pollution in the Indian state of Punjab
originates from neighboring Pakistan. Similarly, an estimated 30% of pollution
in Bangladesh’s largest cities is traced back to India.
