Environmental Tax Reform in Latin America

Emergencies and particularities of the green fiscal agenda in highly unequal countries specializing in natural resource extraction

Jiménez, Juan Pablo

• Latin American countries need to implement an agenda of green tax reforms to adapt their current development path and better respond to climate change. The decarbonization of the energy matrix is essential to mitigate future challenges. • These governments have the potential to raise environmentally oriented taxes to generate additional revenues. Objective should be to adapt to the energy transition, attenuate extractivism and promote better income distribution and growth. • The design and implementation of green fiscal policy should be gradual and coordinated with other non-fiscal environment policies and aware of national particularities
