Overview

As governments around the world grapple with the challenge of pricing carbon, environmental taxation has emerged as a key policy tool—balancing incentives and penalties to encourage sustainable behaviour.

Typically framed as a “carrot and stick” approach, these measures reward environmentally responsible actions while imposing costs on harmful practices.  The UK has broadly followed this global trend, though its path has been shaped by unique factors, including the impact of Brexit.

This one-hour course provides a clear overview of the UK’s current green tax framework, explores the practical implications for businesses and individuals, and considers how the landscape may evolve in the years ahead.
