Abstract
This report summarize on the burden of
environmental policies within countries. Climate change
policies will have distributional consequences across and
within countries. Most of the current environmental policy
instruments tend to be regressive and impose a higher burden
on the poor. Despite their limitations, more systematic
incidence assessments for climate change (CC) policies are
needed so that adaptation and mitigation policies address
their distributional effects within countries.
