Former Australian Finance Minister and now Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Mathias Cormann has called for the world to adopt a consistent global carbon price.

Speaking to ABC radio on Wednesday Cormann said that if the world had a globally applied comprehensive carbon tax it would be the most efficient way to get to net zero by 2050.
