Abstract

As a region with large greenhouse gas emissions and vulnerability to climate change, there is a significant potential for adopting environmental taxes and other economic instruments in Asia-Pacific to address environmental issues. This article provides an overview of recent trends on environmental taxes in selected Asia-Pacific countries.
