Answer:
A carbon tax aims to make individuals and firms pay the full social cost of carbon pollution. In theory, the tax will reduce pollution and encourage more environmentally friendly alternatives. However, critics argue a tax on carbon will increase costs for business and reduce levels of investment and economic growth.

The purpose of a carbon tax
The purpose of a carbon tax is to internalise this externality. What this means is that the final price of the good should include the external costs and not just the private cost. It is similar to the ‘polluter pays principle.‘ – which was incorporated into international law at the 1992 Rio Summit. It simply means those who cause environmental costs should be made to pay the full social cost of their actions.

<h2>Answer: Cuba
</h2>
Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean Sea (also called the Antilles Sea), belonging to the Republic of Cuba.
It should be noted that Cuba as a country, is actually an archipelago consisting of the Island of Cuba, the Isle of Pines and a large number of keys and small islets; where only the first two islands are considered suitable to support a permanently resident population.
Its climate is classified as humid subtropical, with two clearly defined seasons, the dry season (from November to April) and the rainy season (from May to October) and with fresh continuous breezes throughout the year. This is due to the elongated shape of the island and its position in the Caribbean, which facilitates the trade winds to flow throughout the territory.
