Economics of Climate Policy: Who Pays for Net Zero?by Raj Pratap Singh What does Net Zero really cost—and more importantly, who actually pays? Most discussions on climate change focus on technology, targets, and trillions of dollars in investment. This book cuts through that narrative to address the question that determines whether climate policy succeeds or fails: the distribution of economic burden. In this rigorous yet accessible work, Raj Pratap Singh reframes the climate debate from aggregate cost to real-world impact on households, industries, and nations. It shows that while the total cost of transition may be manageable, the burden is uneven—and often falls hardest on those least able to bear it. Drawing on economic theory, policy analysis, and global evidence, the book explains: From the Yellow Vest protests in France to subsidy reforms in India, this book examines real-world cases to show that ignoring distributional impacts is not just unjust—it is impractical. The central insight is clear:Climate policy that is not fair will not last. Designed for policymakers, regulators, economists, and informed citizens, this book provides a practical framework for designing climate strategies that are efficient, equitable, and politically viable. If you want to understand not just the economics of climate change—but the economics of who pays—this book is essential reading.
