Can free-market principles break the global climate deadlock?
In short: Climate policy often feels like a zero-sum game, but a new proposal suggests a path forward that aligns with conservative economic values. This talk explores a carbon dividends plan designed to be popular, cost-effective, and equitable.
Policy entrepreneur Ted Halstead argues that the primary barrier to climate progress is the perceived conflict between economic freedom and environmental protection. He proposes a transformative approach rooted in the principles of free markets and limited government.
The core of this strategy is a carbon dividends plan. By framing climate action as a market-based mechanism, Halstead aims to create an international domino effect, making environmental solutions more politically viable and economically attractive for all sides.
