Green Taxation and Environmental Sustainability explores the critical issue of how taxes can be applied across relevant environmental areas - including transport, nuclear power, and water and waste management - to achieve sustainability.

Containing topical chapters written by environmental experts, the book covers a number of key issues, including: interaction of biofuels and EU state aid rules; territorial differences for transport fuel demand; electric vehicles, taxation and electricity transmission; public policy issues on the disposal of high-level radioactive waste in Japan; landfill and waste incineration taxes; and many other topics.

This insightful study will appeal to policymakers in government, as well as to students and academics in environmental law, environmental economics and environmental sustainability.
