Nagroda Akademii Królewskiej w Szwecji im. Alfreda Nobla w dziedzinie ekonomii jest wyrazem najwyższego szacunku dla najwybitniejszych ekonomistów na świecie. W artykule przedstawiono życiorys naukowy i wybrane elementy dorobku nowych laureatów tej nagrody, którymi w 2018 r. zostali dwaj ekonomiści amerykańscy: William Dawbney Nordhaus i Paul Michael Romer. Skoncentrowano się przede wszystkim na tych elementach ich osiągnięć, które zostały podkreślone w uzasadnieniu przyznania tej nagrody: uwzględnienie w długookresowych studiach makroekonomicznych znaczenia globalnych zmian klimatycznych przez W.D. Nordhausa oraz endogenicznych zmian technologicznych przez P.M. Romera i stworzenie na tej podstawie fundamentów endogenicznej teorii wzrostu gospodarczego. Całość uzupełnia starannie dobrana lista ważniejszych publikacji obu laureatów.

The Alfred Nobel Prize awarded by the Royal Academy in Sweden in the field of economics since 1969, is an expression of the highest respect for the most prominent economists in the world. The article presents the biographical outline and selected elements of the achievements of two winners of this award, which in 2018 was awarded to William Dawbney Nordhaus and Paul Michael Romer. The study focuses primarily on those elements of the achievements of both American economists, which have been underlined in the decision to award the Nobel Prize: including long-term macroeconomic studies of the importance of global climate change by William Dawbney Nordhaus and endogenous technological changes by Paul Michael Romer and creating on this basis foundations of the endogenous theory of economic growth. The whole is completed by a carefully selected list of the most important publications of both laureates.

The article explores the role of different types of transport charges and taxes in the climate change policy from a theoretical point of view. The author has identified some CO2-based charges and taxes levied at the local and regional level in the European Union. These instruments include: congestion charges, parking charges and registration taxes levied in the departments of France or in the one of the Belgian regions.

The climate policy of the European Union, concerning the struggle against global warming, concentrates, among others, on the realisation of the objectives of "the energy-climate package 3x20" adopted by the European Council, envisaging a 20% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, a 20% increase in energy efficiency and a 20% share of energy produced from renewable sources in the overall energy balance by 2020. The commitment to meet these objectives has been underlined with directives aimed at promoting the use of renewable energy sources, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the improvement and extension of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) geologic storage of carbon dioxide and the public support for the actions aiming at environmental protection. The agreed energy-climate package means that EU member states are going to face many challenges, imposing on them the obligation to take a number of measurable steps towards implementation of these directives. On the one hand, the main objectives of the package fit very well into the concept of sustainable development, whilst, on the other, meeting these objectives is very costly and controversial, in particular for countries whose energy is based on conventional sources. What is the essence of the energy-climate package given the climate change theory and within the context of sustainable development? What has been the success of the realisation of the package so far? These are the main research questions in this paper.(original abstract)
