Course unit content
Some concepts about environmental taxation are in-depth analysed, under the EU law and the national law and, more specifically, on how economic growth can be compatible with the fight against climate change, while preserving the environment as much as possible, understood as a value - in legal terms - also for the benefit of future generations. We will discuss which tax instruments enable us to combine economic growth and environmental protection in a balanced way.
