<i>‘</i>Biodiversity and Climate: Tackling Global Footprints<i> is essential for understanding the challenges posed by the relationship between biodiversity and climate, which are pillars of our survival and prosperity. This joint work integrates analyses and policies to reduce ecological, carbon, and biodiversity footprints. It explores the mutual impact of climate change and biodiversity, assesses the costs and benefits of their protection, and examines the carbon footprint of numerous economic activities. The authors also confront social impact and inequalities generated by climate policies, along with political strategies and international agreements. The work serves as a guide for policymakers and economic actors, illustrating how to align preservation and sustainable development through concrete case studies. This is a beacon of hope that we may achieve a symbiosis with nature. “The Earth is not a legacy from our parents, but a loan from our children”.’</i>

Global in scope, this topical book offers a holistic view of environmental challenges and examines international taxation strategies used to address them. Chapters discuss the priorities and techniques of biodiversity protection, analyses of emissions reduction in agriculture and forestry, as well as local, national and maritime climate challenges and the tools available to alleviate them. Bringing together leading experts from multiple disciplines, the book also explores the social acceptance of environmental taxation illustrated via case studies spanning across Europe and Australia.
Timely and practical, this book is a vital reference point for students and scholars of environmental law, economics and sustainable development. Its experts’ strategic insights and recommendations will also appeal to fiscal policymakers, as well as environmental scientists, economists and advocates.
