<i>‘</i>Taxation and the Green Growth Challenge<i> makes an exciting and timely contribution to the long-running Critical Issues in Environmental Taxation series (the book is the 25th Volume in the series). The thematic organisation of the book is convenient and allows for the reader to delve into areas that are of personal interest. The proposals and solutions covered in this edition are not only topical within environmental tax scholarship, but touch on these ideas in light of current political events, such as the global energy crisis and the conflict in Ukraine. This book will be of great interest to both researchers and policymakers who wish to engage with the key issues surrounding environmental taxation and carbon pricing policies within the green growth context.’</i>

- Sabrina Mason, British Tax Review,

<i>‘Prof. Alberto Comelli and his team have produced an outstanding volume – covering taxation for the global challenge of green growth. Chapters written by a distinguished group of international scholars range from carbon pricing and carbon border adjustments, to green hydrogen, energy taxation reform, and controlling waste. Focusing on green growth, the chapters provide a thorough analysis of the challenges, existing and emerging solutions, and detailed recommendations for future work.’</i>

- Roberta Mann, University of Oregon School of Law, US,

<i>‘The </i>Critical Issues in Environmental Taxation<i> is a yearly state of the art publication that reflects on the key issues currently occupying the minds of academics, government officials and policy makers in the field of environmental taxation. I would highly recommend it to any tax professional suffering from fear of missing out in relation to this rapidly developing but ever-so-relevant subject.’</i>

<i>‘This publication includes a range of interesting analyses giving valuable insights to the green growth topic. There are different ways to make the green train gain speed and the articles can give policy-makers well-reasoned input on suitable tools to apply in their national tool-boxes.’</i>

Taxation and the Green Growth Challenge addresses the pressing issue of how economic growth can be compatible with the fight against climate change, while protecting the environment as much as possible. The book shows how decision-makers must account for the legal value of the environment as being of benefit to future generations.



With a broad approach, and a combination of legal and economic points of view, chapters discuss which tax instruments enable us to combine economic growth and environmental protection in a balanced way. This discerning book identifies the tax instruments that permit a comprehensive arrangement of underlying economic and political interests, with a view to pursuing the UN’s and EU’s ambitious environmental goals. The impressive selection of contributors also reflect on global initiatives and legislation as well as exploring new environmental strategies.



This book will be of great interest to researchers and scholars who wish to analyse in-depth environmental and natural resource taxation issues, including energy taxation and carbon pricing, as well as the circular economy and green taxes in the context of wider tax reforms. It will also appeal to industry advisors, policymakers and government officials.
