green taxes
Pollution pricing policies
Green taxes are levies designed to discourage environmentally harmful activities—taxes on carbon emissions, fuel consumption, plastic bags, or industrial pollution.
The idea is to make the cost of environmental damage visible in prices, shifting behavior toward cleaner alternatives: The government proposed green taxes on single-use packaging.
Also called environmental taxes or ecotaxes.
