It needs to be balanced and well thought out - absolutely - reinforced by global cooperation

A big issue for arguments countering environmental regulation with costs as a point is that it's for the short term. Job losses in the coal industry are a valid concern. But it's not a reason. Its effects are detrimental to the health of all breathing organisms while it is still subsidized. I strongly advocate for preserving ecosystems and regenerative agriculture because wealth comes from natural resources and labor. A healthy ecosystem is a healthy economy.
