A green tax reform in Spain can reduce emissions without imposing economic hardship on any segment of the population

The latest studies by researchers at the University of Oldenburg (Germany), the Basque Center for Climate Change, and the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change shows that low-income households in Spain can actually benefit from environmental taxes if revenues are redistributed to all taxpayers. Using a computational model to assess the environmental and economic impacts of a green tax reform policy in which revenues are recycled in equal amounts to households in annual lump-sum payments, the researchers found that the policy significantly reduces emissions without imposing economic hardship on any segment of the population.
