Environmental taxation in partner countries: promoting best practices

Green taxes and other green fiscal policies (GFP) are key tools to contribute to more sustainable domestic finances and a more sustainable and inclusive economic development. As part of a broader policy mix, green taxation initiatives at both EU and international level can help reach environmental policy goals by encouraging a switch to cleaner energy, more sustainable industry and greener habits. They allow businesses and individual consumers to decide how to respond to price signals and create a dynamic incentive in favour of change.
