Synopsis

This book outlines how an accelerated move to cleaner energy is a global imperative, and one that is especially challenging for emerging economies which often face extreme inequalities, unemployment and poverty. Contributing authors consider perspectives from the Global North and South to underscore the importance of an energy transition which is both inclusive and fair.

Drawing on insights from economics, law and political science, chapters explore the role of environmental taxation and other market-based policies in advancing a just energy transition. Expert contributors from across the globe highlight the challenges surrounding carbon border adjustment mechanisms. Chapters also discuss real-world case studies of environmental taxes and their role in the pursuit of climate justice.

This timely book is of great interest to scholars concerned with environmental policy, tax and law in the context of sustainable development. It will also appeal to policymakers, government officials, practitioners and social justice advocates.
