Edited by Larry Kreiser, Professor Emeritus of Accounting, Cleveland State University, US, Ana Yábar Sterling, Professor of Applied Economics, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain, Pedro Herrera, Assistant Professor of Taxation and Financial Law, National Distance University (UNED), Spain, Janet E. Milne, Professor of Law, Vermont Law School and Director of the Environmental Tax Policy Institute, US and Hope Ashiabor, Climate Policy Consultant, Australia

The emphasis of the book lies in finding critical solutions to global climate change including chapters on environmental fiscal reform and unemployment in Spain, EU structural and cohesion policy and sustainable development, ecological tax reform in Europe and Asia, Australia’s carbon pricing mechanism, and many other timely topics.

‘The scope, depth and persistence with which this book explores carbon pricing is admirable, reflecting that despite political reluctance it is a topic in all parts of the world.’

‘Environmental taxation and emissions trading continue to be high on the public policy agenda in many countries, and this is another welcome and very interesting volume in the Critical Issues in Environmental Taxation series that presents new ideas and evidence on these subjects from a wide range of countries and a variety of perspectives.’
