Emission-intensive products such as meat and dairy would be most affected by a climate fee of around 200 euros per tonne GHG .

Prices for more sustainable products would rise less: Yoghurt and milk would increase by about 25 cents per kilogram, while beef prices could rise by over 4 euros/kg .

The 8.2 billion euros generated by the climate fee are returned to consumers as a climate dividend, providing substantial relief to lower-income households.
