Here we quantitatively evaluate the equity implications of different European Union climate policy packages, considering pricing, regulation via standards, subsidies and transfers. Leveraging an integrated modelling framework, we show that standards limit impact variability within income groups, whereas carbon pricing with transfer-based revenue recycling offsets regressive impacts between income groups. Restricting climate policy implementation to either option, therefore, gives rise to a trade-off between horizontal and vertical equity. We then demonstrate numerically how a multi-instrument budget-neutral policy package can resolve this trade-off. Adopting a broader equity perspective that encompasses both horizontal and vertical equity shifts the preferred policy mix towards a combination of standards, pricing, subsidies and transfers. These results provide an explicit, quantified, equity-based rationale for the adoption and acceptability of comprehensive climate policy packages, offering a more nuanced view on policy design.","PeriodicalId":18974,"journal":{"name":"Nature Climate Change","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":30.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149209776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This omission could distort outcomes concerning electricity generation and also other sectors. Here we estimate and implement dynamic, country-specific cost of capital (CoC) for eight energy and industry sectors in the IMAGE integrated assessment model. Compared with assuming a uniform low-risk CoC, accounting for developing countries’ investment risks increases global mitigation costs through 2100 for staying well below +2 °C by around 9% and shifts cost-effective mitigation efforts to lower-risk regions. Sector-level analysis shows that using granular CoC estimates reduces grid investments in developing countries, shifts centralized heat production towards natural gas and raises green hydrogen costs, slowing electrolysis uptake. In industries such as steel and cement, sector and country risks hinder capital-intensive carbon capture and electricity-based technologies. Our results reveal biases from omitting country-specific financing conditions and highlight the need for climate finance across many sectors. Financing costs vary widely across countries and sectors, influencing the feasibility of global decarbonization. This research shows that accounting for these differences increases mitigation costs and shifts investment patterns, highlighting the need for broader climate finance.","PeriodicalId":18974,"journal":{"name":"Nature Climate Change","volume":"16 10","pages":"1178-1186"},"PeriodicalIF":26.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-026-02756-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149049287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scaling up carbon removal raises pressing questions about how this can be done in an equitable and socially legitimate manner. Using vignette experiments with nationally representative surveys in six global south and global north countries (N = 10,852 respondents across Brazil, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Norway and the UK), we examine which modes of implementing novel carbon removal methods gain public support across diverse socio-political settings. We find that support hinges on procedural and distributive fairness: opening planning processes to public and expert scrutiny, benefit sharing and not-for-profit arrangements consistently increase public support for carbon removal across all countries and technologies. Respondents are unwilling to trade such fairness considerations for technical performance. Just governance and implementation are critical for securing public support when scaling up novel carbon removal methods. Public support is crucial for carbon removal deployment, yet the role of fairness remains unclear. Using surveys from six countries (N = 10,852), this study shows that procedural and distributive fairness are key determinants of support for carbon removal projects across diverse contexts.","PeriodicalId":18974,"journal":{"name":"Nature Climate Change","volume":"16 10","pages":"1152-1161"},"PeriodicalIF":26.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-026-02741-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149050095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
