The unprecedented growth of the new middle classes in middle income developing countries implies a strong growth in both consumption and carbon emissions. The research project Sustainable Middle Classes in Middle Income Countries (SMMICC) investigates the drivers of carbon consumption choices of the new middle classes and policy options to decrease their carbon footprints, including the implementation of carbon taxes. The research of the authors generated quantitative data on the acceptability of carbon taxes in three countries (Peru, Ghana, Philippines).
