Edited by Alberto Comelli, Professor of Tax Law, University of Parma, Italy, Janet E. Milne, Professor of Law and Director of the Environmental Tax Policy Institute, Vermont Law School, US and Mikael Skou Andersen, Professor of Environmental Policy Analysis, Aarhus University, Denmark and Hope Ashiabor, Dr., University of New South Wales Business School, Australia

Taxation and the Green Growth Challenge addresses the pressing issue of how economic growth can be compatible with the fight against climate change, while protecting the environment as much as possible. The book shows how decision-makers must account for the legal value of the environment as being of benefit to future generations.

‘Prof. Alberto Comelli and his team have produced an outstanding volume – covering taxation for the global challenge of green growth. Chapters written by a distinguished group of international scholars range from carbon pricing and carbon border adjustments, to green hydrogen, energy taxation reform, and controlling waste. Focusing on green growth, the chapters provide a thorough analysis of the challenges, existing and emerging solutions, and detailed recommendations for future work.’

‘The Critical Issues in Environmental Taxation is a yearly state of the art publication that reflects on the key issues currently occupying the minds of academics, government officials and policymakers in the field of environmental taxation. I would highly recommend it to any tax professional suffering from fear of missing out in relation to this rapidly developing but ever-so-relevant subject.’
