摘要:Abstract
Background
Globalization and rapid industrialization was inevitable during late nineteenth century considering the demand–supply deficit and requirements of evolving societies. However, at later stage these factors were mapped to be major reasons for the environmental pollution. Further, at the cost of environment degradation, development and economic growth cannot be achieved. The objective of the work is to design a green taxation policy to mitigate hazardous environmental impacts of various sectors and to visualize the benefits which can bridge the socio-economic divide prevalent, especially in developing nations. The approach is amalgamation of EIA based approach on the energy research institute criteria and environment-energy, economy.
Results
Integrated model is based on the principle that the tax rate has to be commensurate with the environmental damages which any project causes and it was found that both economic growth and environmental pollution are synchronous. Growth and development related projects cannot be compromised because of increased demands. Therefore, there has to be fine balance between development and conservation.
Conclusions
The policies may be designed on the model discussed to bring out optimal contribution of industry sector towards generating resources for economic growth and to bridge socio-economic divide. Green taxation proves to be deterrent tool towards environmental degradation and optimal energy utilization.
