The Y-axis is in terms of the level of environmental degradation (e.g pollution, water quality, deforestation.  The X-axis would be the GDP/capita.  The idea is that the environmental degradation worsens, until a certain level of income, and after which it gets better. In the US this could be seen in terms of air or water quality, where the skies or rivers were very polluted in the 1960s, until the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act were passed and Air Quality and Water Quality improved.  Another motivation for the downward slope would be the idea that at some point a wealthier society demands environmental improvements.  \n",

     "Earlier, we described the effect of introducing a tax on the emissions ‘market’ and observed how rational decision-makers in individual firms react by constructing their own MAC curves. Now, let’s say that the government has set an emission reduction target but has not decided on a specific tax rate yet. How could they guarantee that the target is met? By taking the cumulative sum of the abatement potential of each intervention they expect to take place at a given rate, they should keep doing so until their sum equals the emission reduction target. From there, they observe the marginal abatement cost of the last intervention they added to the sum. This could be a way to set the emissions tax rate. Here's how a simplified version of the MAC could look:\n",
