当代减少温室气体排放的政策将产生分配后果，从而对社会政策的范围和职权范围产生影响。本文研究了当前的碳减排政策及其分布影响。在提出替代方案之前，它考虑了一系列当前和拟议的社会方案，以减轻这些影响。根据排放是在生产框架还是在消费框架内构思和核算，这一论点分两部分进行。第一部分在《京都议定书》政策框架内进行，对当前的一系列政策进行了批评，并提出了可能更好地将碳减排和社会公平目标结合在一起的替代政策情景。下半年证明了更广泛地关注英国消费者排放的所有温室气体的合理性和可操作性，无论是直接排放还是体现在商品和服务中。它辩称，要针对这些问题，需要超越当前的政策范式，制定更激进的政策，以改变偏好和行为，并限制总消费需求。然后，它推测新的社会政策方案可能会以何种方式将追求这些目标与社会公平结合起来。
Abstract Contemporary policies to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) will have distributive consequences and thus implications for the scope and remit of social policy. This paper studies current carbon mitigation policies and their distributive impacts. It considers a range of current and proposed social programmes to ameliorate these impacts, before proposing alternatives. This argument is pursued in two parts according to whether emissions are conceived and accounted within a production or a consumption framework. The first part works within the Kyoto policy framework, critiques the present suite of policies and suggests alternative policy scenarios that may better marry together the goals of carbon reduction and social equity. The second half justifies and operationalises a broader focus on all GHGs emitted by British consumers, whether directly or embodied in goods and services. It argues that to target these will require going beyond the current policy paradigm to develop more radical policies to modify preferences and behaviour, and to constrain total consumption demand. It then speculates on ways that new social policy programmes might combine the pursuit of these goals together with social equity.
