In depth analysis of the impact of the carbon tax, options for mitigating them- Senegal

The objective of the consultation is twofold. First, it will involve carrying out an in-depth analysis of the impacts of the implementation of a carbon tax in Senegal . Based on the analyses already initiated in Senegal, but also on a benchmark and advanced modeling, this study should make it possible to evaluate in detail the impacts of this measure on the economy at the global and sectoral levels, households, the environment and public finances on the one hand, and on the other hand, the measures that can mitigate these impacts, in particular through the use of national carbon credits and the methods of recycling revenues .

Specifically, it will involve assessing in detail, using a dynamic modeling tool, the impacts of this measure on:

-          the economy and added values of sectors, including sectors not covered by the tax;

-          the different income deciles of populations and vulnerable households;

-          carbon leakage, the WAPP network and foreign market share losses;

-          interactions between the carbon tax and existing and planned tax policies;

-          the interactions between the carbon tax and relevant sectoral policies (related to certain key sectors such as energy, industries, etc.).

Furthermore, it will be necessary to analyze:

-          measures likely to mitigate the impact of the tax, in particular the use of national credits for compliance;

-          the methods of recycling revenues adapted to the national context, but also to local perceptions;

-          the effective opportunities of the tax to increase eco-citizenship of local consumption;

-          the effective opportunities of the tax to finance adaptation measures.

Second, the aim will be to assess the conditions for implementing carbon pricing instruments in Senegal from a just transition perspective, starting first with an inventory of existing options, then identifying the social risks and opportunities for the affected populations and sectors. This part of the consultation will also need to be based on a benchmark in order to take advantage of best practices in terms of inclusion and social justice for the successful design and implementation of carbon pricing tools (carbon tax and market). 

Specifically, this will involve:

·      to identify vulnerable stakeholder groups, sectors and regions at risk;

·       to draw up a map of social, economic and territorial vulnerabilities linked to the energy and climate transition in Senegal;

·       to assess opportunities for mobilizing carbon revenues (tax and market) to support social justice measures;

·       to analyze the capacities and resources to undertake relevant actions in favor of a just transition;

·       to propose compensation measures, social support and professional retraining for vulnerable groups for a just transition;

·       propose concrete options for integrating just transition principles into the design, implementation and monitoring of these instruments (carbon market and tax);

·       to integrate the dimensions of participatory governance, training, social support in the design of carbon pricing instruments .
