'Green taxation is an important subject. Recently in the UK, HM
Treasury set out a definition of environmental taxes for the UK and
has sought to increase the proportion of tax revenue raised by
environmental taxation. This is part of the EU agreement to
encourage ''green tax'' reforms and increase their effectiveness.
Globally, there is renewed interest in the implementation of
environmental taxation and measuring the greening of the tax
system. Increasing concerns over the costs and impact of climate
change and over reliance on carbon energy have underlined the need
for suitable strategies. It is proposed that a percentage of GDP
will be allocated to tax revenues from green taxation. This is a
timely volume and provides well informed case studies and
analytical discourse that covers in breadth the various forms of
green taxation. These essays are from leading scholars in the
field. Policy makers, lawyers, economists and political scientists
will find the essays rewarding, informative and essential reading.'
- John McEldowney, University of Warwick, UK Green Taxation and
Environmental Sustainability explores the critical issue of how
taxes can be applied across relevant environmental areas -
including transport, nuclear power, and water and waste management
- to achieve sustainability. Containing topical chapters written by
environmental experts, the book covers a number of key issues,
including: interaction of biofuels and EU state aid rules;
territorial differences for transport fuel demand; electric
vehicles, taxation and electricity transmission; public policy
issues on the disposal of high-level radioactive waste in Japan;
landfill and waste incineration taxes; and many other topics. This
insightful study will appeal to policymakers in government, as well
as to students and academics in environmental law, environmental
economics and environmental sustainability. Contributors include:
