Researchers looked at 1,500 ways countries have tried to curb heat-trapping gases.
Success often means someone has to pay a price, whether at the pump or elsewhere.
In only 63 cases since 1998 , did researchers find policies that resulted in significant cuts of carbon pollution.
The study also found that what works in rich nations doesn't always work as well in developing ones.
A management professor at MIT Sloan Sustainability Institute said politicians find it easier to pass policies that subsidize and promote low-carbon technologies.
He said that's not enough. “It's also necessary to discourage fossil fuels by pricing them closer to their full costs,” he said.
