Through case studies and broader analysis, international experts examine taxes and subsidies in energy intensive sectors including stationary energy and transport in Europe and South America, and low-carbon strategies in Australia and East Asia. They also address cross-cutting policy issues involving water pollution and biodiversity protection. This work illustrates how economic instruments for a low-carbon transition need to align with other governmental policies and together influence behaviour in multiple domains such as energy, mobility, trade, land use and innovation.
Providing a rich economic modelling of environmental fiscal policies, this topical book will be an engaging read for environmental tax scholars and professionals, as well as academics across energy and environmental economics, law and policy. Policy makers and practitioners in energy and climate policy will also benefit from its problem-solving approach.

This book providesa concise overview of facts and projections aboutclimate change in Cyprus and its region until the end of the 21st century. Climate change is expected to have adverse effects in Mediterranean Europe – the most serious compared to other European regions. Being an island state with a semi-arid climate in the Eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus is located in a hot spot. Basedon the information available in the literature, it highlights the expected natural, economic and societal impacts ofclimate change and presents recommendations forthe implementation of a nationaladaptation strategy. Despite the dismal outlook arising from this review,the book demonstrates that coping with climate change is possible, provided thatproactive actions are taken by both the public and the private sector. Publicauthorities need to set clear priorities and set up adequate monitoringmechanisms that can help avoid large natural and economic damages at a laterstage. Enabling private adaptation investments and properly pricing the use ofnatural resources are key priorities for investing in a climate resilienteconomy.

This book presents an economic cost-benefit assessment of the penetration of renewable power generation in Cyprus up to 2030. Unlike a purely financial appraisal, we employ a social cost-benefit analysis that is mainly relevant for policy makers, taking into account – apart from direct financial costs – external costs and benefits from the diffusion of renewable electricity. The book presents a comprehensive yet straightforward case study, probably the first one conducted for Cyprus.
Electricity produced by renewable sources increased worldwideat its fastest rate to date in 2014. Driven by policies to mitigate climatechange, enhance energy security and reduce air pollution, and by declining costsof major technologies, renewables account for almost all net new powergenerating capacity in the developed world. In this context, Cyprus isincreasingly adopting renewable power generation as well. In addition to itsenergy and environmental commitments as a member of the EuropeanUnion, thecountry wishes to diversify its energy supply in order to drive downelectricity costs and reduce energy supply risks. A significant deployment ofrenewable electricity is foreseen in the coming decades. Is it economicallyjustified for a small country with an isolated electric system like Cyprus.
