This statistic shows the average carbon prices for carbon tax and cap-and-trade programs in North America in 2018, with a breakdown by region. The average carbon prices in the province of British Columbia stood at 27 Canadian dollars per metric ton. The average cost understates the impact of regulatory systems because it does not include investments made by firms to reduce emissions, only payments from the carbon emitted.
