Fiscal policy for decarbonization of energy in Europe, with a focus on urban transport: case study and proposal for Spain

As populations become increasingly concentrated in urban centres and megacities, and demands on transportation continue to grow, the question of how to mitigate the environmental footprint of these trends is ever more pressing. This comprehensive book demonstrates the potentially significant role of environmental taxation and other market-based instruments in meeting these challenges.
