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>

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.
