## Resource

Episode 45 of Climate Economics with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna dig into how carbon pricing is reshaping business travel in 2026. They focus on the new 'carbon surcharge' policies at major airlines, how companies like Microsoft and Salesforce are internalizing carbon costs into travel budgets, and why a single round-trip flight from New York to London now carries a hidden $50–$70 carbon price. The hosts discuss how this shifts corporate travel decisions, from virtual meetings to rail alternatives, and whether the surcharges actually reduce emissions or just raise revenue. A concrete look at the economics of a business trip in a carbon-constrained world. #CarbonPricing #BusinessTravel #CorporateTravel #CarbonSurcharge #Airlines #Microsoft #Salesforce #EmissionsReduction #ClimatePolicy #SustainableTravel #CarbonCost #Economics #ClimateEconomics #Podcast #Fexingo #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TravelPolicy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
