negara maju. Tetapi, apakah kebijakan itu juga bisa diterapkan di negara
berkembang masih menjadi perdebatan. Tesis ini menganalisa masalah-masalah
yang memperlambat perkembangan proposal pajak karbon di Indonesia. Thesis ini
menggunakan pendekatan kritis terhadap pengalaman penerapan pajak carbon di
negara lain dan data pengeluaran untuk memprediksi efek dari penerapan carbon

perbandingan akibat dari penerapan pajak karbon dengan kebijakan pencabutan
subsidi terhadap bahan bakar. Hasil dari tesis ini mengindikasikan bahwa
pelaksanaan pajak karbon di Indonesia akan memberikan beban pajak yang lebih
terhadap rumah tangga miskin di areal pedesaan. Tesis ini juga memetakan
beberapa faktor yang menghambat perkembangan rencana penerapan pajak
karbon di Indonesia dan memberikan gambaran alternatif solusi untuk menangani
masalah tersebut.
