Abstract
This dissertation is designed to compare recent environmental tax reform policies enacted by different countries. The purpose is to provide a theoretical analysis of the results of the tax policies and credits implemented. Many nations have recently enacted environmental taxes. These either give credit to positive actions or charge negative actions. It will discuss how past and present policies have affected various issues, evaluate their design, the governments of the countries putting them into practice, and compare them to other methods of addressing climate change. Crude oil is the source of most of the related tax revenues. Changing the tax rates on competing sources may help to distribute renewable energy more evenly in the future. Avoiding social and legal repercussions is important. Theoretically, these taxes should be distributed fairly, with mitigation measures in place for those who fall into lower income brackets and exemptions granted to specific industries. Proper fiscal reform measures have the potential to reduce pollution, strengthen the economy, and improve infrastructure.
