英文摘要	Funding large-scale negative emissions through a carbon market designed for traditional emission reduction strategies risks exacerbating long-term economic inequality. We suggest exploring alternative financing mechanisms that address this concern and that still ensure decarbonization at reasonable costs. In a net-zero emissions world, NETs could become a trillion-dollar business globally.If financed through an unregulated carbon market, the owners of these companies would enjoy windfall profits, potentially leading to a large increase in economic inequality.Market regulation, such as profit caps, could reduce the inequality increase, but at the risk of stimulating too much or too little carbon removal - policymakers should be aware of this trade-off.Concentrating removal efforts in the Global North or transferring resources to the Global South could, to some extent, offset the increase in inequality at the global level.These dynamics mostly apply to a net-zero and post-net-zero world. The current priority of policymakers should remain to provide adequate resources to scale up NETs towards technology maturity.
