Abstract

This article examines the increasing significance of environmental taxes in the context of global environmental protection and climate change mitigation, with a focus on the European Union (EU). By analyzing specialized literature, it develops a framework to understand how environmental taxes promote sustainable economic and social development. The first section defines the importance of these taxes in combating climate change and environmental degradation, while addressing implementation challenges and benefits. The second section focuses on practical aspects of tax administration, including techniques for assessing economic and social impacts, setting and adjusting tax rates, and strategies for public communication to enhance support. The article reviews the current state of environmental tax policies in Europe, noting progress and areas for improvement. Key findings indicate that environmental taxes are effective in generating revenue and encouraging sustainable practices. The data from 2013 to 2022 show a consistent increase in EU environmental tax revenues, despite economic disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic. This trend reflects the EU's commitment to sustainability. It calls for an integrated approach to optimize these taxes' implementation and adjustment, supporting the EU's long-term sustainability goals.
