Fiscal Mechanism for Countering Negative Environmental Externalities by Viktor Melnyk, Vadym Hrebenozhko

“…The theoretical analysis of issues of countering negative environmental externalities allowed us to classify specific instruments and levers of the fiscal mechanism into the following groups:budget expenditures of different levels intended to counter negative environmental externalities and adapt to climate change, namely, state and municipal loans and investments in green economy facilities, green economy subsidies, direct financing of environmental protection measures; specific tax instruments of environmental focus (energy and fuel taxes; transport taxes; taxes on emissions that cause global changes; payments for pollution, waste disposal and recycling, for the use of natural resources and subsoil, for noise impact, etc.); non-tax revenue instruments (revenues from auctions of emission permits); loan instruments of environmental focus (green bonds, sustainable development bonds, climate bonds issued by state and local authorities); quasi-fiscal instruments (international and intergovernmental grants and assistance (including within the framework of international climate initiatives), national climate initiatives).…”
