‘Taxation and the Green Growth Challenge makes an exciting and timely contribution to the long-running Critical Issues in Environmental Taxation series (the book is the 25th Volume in the series). The thematic organisation of the book is convenient and allows for the reader to delve into areas that are of personal interest. The proposals and solutions covered in this edition are not only topical within environmental tax scholarship, but touch on these ideas in light of current political events, such as the global energy crisis and the conflict in Ukraine. This book will be of great interest to both researchers and policymakers who wish to engage with the key issues surrounding environmental taxation and carbon pricing policies within the green growth context.’
