A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Environmental taxes can be efficient tools for successful environmental policy. Their use, however, has been limited in many countries. This thoughtful book explores the scope of environmental pricing and examines a variety of national experiences in environmental policy integration to identify the most effective use of taxation and policy for environmental sustainability.Environmental taxes are seldom implemented in isolation and are applied in combination with other regulatory instruments. At issue is the critical lack of knowledge on how different policy instruments and taxes interact and work together. This perceptive book considers recent research on the environmental and economic impact of applying environmental taxes. Expert contributors come together to discuss the high potential for wider use of environmental taxation in combination with other policy instruments, and highlight key areas of current practice that must be addressed. Empirical studies of policy strategies are discussed to illustrate the extent to which current climate change policy is integrated against the proposed successful policy combinations that are presented in this insightful book.Environmental pricing will be of interest to scholars, practitioners and policy makers alike in the areas of environmental law, environmental economics and environmental sustainability.

Revue de presse :

'As someone who has been involved in speaking, disseminating knowledge and engaging with policy makers for the last couple of decades on environmental taxation I whole heartedly support and endorse this collection of topical and informative papers. I have known Larry since first meeting him at one of the early Global Conference on Environmental Taxation in Singapore, which he founded and has committed himself to making the premier international green tax event. I consider these two volumes are a fascinating insight in to the latest thinking and research in the field and are a highly valued reference source.' --- Chas Roy-Chowdhury, The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, UK

'Environmental Pricing is an interesting book containing a broad collection of chapters that discuss issues of relevance for environmental policymaking. The topics range from support for renewable energy and fossil fuels via environmental taxation to policies for water management. The book provides relevant information regarding the many issues covered, and some chapters will stimulate further debate.' --- Nils Axel Braathen, Principal Administrator OECD, Environment Directorate
