Abstract enClimate change, changing our world, needs inevitably global cooperation in order to slow down especially CO2 emissions coming from fossil fuel use. Because of global warming, all countries pay for the costs to mitigate the CO2 emissions and bear the burden of adaptation. But, past emissions coming from developed countries, as a source of climate injustice is one of the main barriers before global cooperation at the climate change negotiations. For this reason, it is possible to argue that a global carbon tax, having some advantages, such as tax revenues transferable to developing countries for climate justice, may be an important key to opening a gate to reach a global agreement more successful than the Kyoto Protocol in the near future.
