Abstract
For this research, the focus will be on the carbon pricing in Alberta. As one of the leading jurisdictions in Canada for reducing GHG emissions, Alberta has the responsibility to implement policies to reduce GHG emissions, while maintaining its economic prosperity. The effects of carbon pricing policies on unemployment rate, economy diversification and socio-economic sectors will be investigated in the paper. Recommendations will be provided on how Alberta should move forward with carbon pricing after analysing the trend and relationships between carbon pricing and the economic and social structures in the province. As such, by extrapolating the results and reaching a thorough understanding of the impacts of carbon pricing, the effectiveness of carbon-pricing related policies may be bettered. Studies on other jurisdictions in Canada may be conducted in the future for comparative purposes.
