Master thesis 2024/2025 full-time program - general topic: Environmental Taxation
Environmental taxes are often described as cost-efficient policy instruments to promote environmental protection. The objective of this lecture is to shed light on the tax design and main objectives of environmental and environmentally driven taxes and tax incentives. Moreover, the lecture will analyse the main legal issues surrounding the adoption of environmental tax measures at the national, EU and international levels. Although the lecture will not focus on one specific type of environmental tax measure, attention will be paid to the specific case of carbon taxes.
