“…The tax rate, the availability of substitutes for the goods subject to the tax, and the distinct institutional and economic features of each region are among the variables that determine whether environmental taxes are successful in accomplishing their objectives (He et al 2023;Youssef et al 2023). Despite their potential, the application of these taxes faces challenges, in particular their regressive nature, which disproportionately affects low-income households (Al-Rawi et al 2023;Ullah et al 2023;Ben Youssef and Dahmani 2024), necessitating equitable measures such as subsidies or tax credits to ensure social equity.…”

This study examines the complex relation among environmental taxes, productive capacities, urbanization, and their collective effects on environmental quality in Africa, drawing on two decades of data from twenty African countries. It situates the study within the broader discourse on sustainable development and economic growth, emphasizing the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework to examine the relationship between economic development, characterized by urban expansion and increased productive capacities, and the adoption of environmental taxes amidst the continent’s diverse economic and environmental environments. Using advanced econometric techniques, including the Cross-Section Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) model and the Dynamic Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (DCCEMG) estimator, the study addresses data challenges such as cross-sectional dependence and slope heterogeneity. The results provide important insights into the dynamics of environmental quality in relation to economic and urban growth and the role of environmental taxation. The study proposes tailored policy strategies aimed at strengthening sustainable development initiatives in line with international agreements such as the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. These strategies advocate for a nuanced application of environmental taxes and the promotion of productive capacities to enhance environmental sustainability across the African continent.

“…Empirické důkazy o účinnosti environmentální daně při zmírňování zhoršování životního prostředí jsou smíšené, přičemž některé studie podporují účinnost environmentální daně při snižování emisí, zatímco jiné nenacházejí žádné důkazy na podporu tvrzení, že environmentální daně zlepšují kvalitu životního prostředí (Aydin a Esen 2018;Freire-González 2018). Empirické výsledky ukazují, že environmentální daně jako celek přispívají ke snížení emisí CO2 a hrají pozitivní roli při snížení četností extrémních jevů počasí, čímž oddalují změnu klimatu (He et al 2023). Odpovědnost za vypuštěné emise nenesou pouze firmy, ale také obyvatelé.…”

Změna klimatu a cíle klimatické neutrality pro rok 2050 v případě EU přináší nutnost účinných nástrojů pro zlepšení životního prostředí. Environmentální daně, zelené inovace, oceňování uhlíku, emisní povolenky a další instrumenty přitahují stále větší pozornost v akademické, ale i ekonomické a environmentální politické debatě. Článek poskytuje podrobný přehled teoretické a empirické literatury o roli politických nástrojů na cestě za klimatickou neutralitou, zejména o účinnosti environmentálních daní, inovací a zavedených politik napříč celým světem. Samostatná část se věnuje také dvěma nejpoužívanějším přístupům pro zavedení ceny uhlíku -uhlíkové dani a emisním povolenkám. Nástroje politiky životního prostředí se kombinují, žádný z nich sám o sobě nepřispívá k významnému environmentálnímu zlepšení, což potvrdila i řada významných studií. Přísnější regulace a zlepšené nástroje ale napomáhají na dlouhé cestě k dosažení klimatické neutrality.

“…According to (Tariq and Hassan, 2023), green financing has a significant impact on financial sustainability, purchasing power, and cli-mate change in the context of sustainable social interactions, as well as the economic and demographic risks posed by climate change (Zhu et al, 2023). However, according to (Cevik and Jalles, 2023), climate change has a strong correlation with income inequalities on a global scale within the budget basket, as well as the environmental budget to prevent climate change (He et al, 2023). Ayanlade et al (2023) underscore the necessity for a comprehensive understanding of the complex risks associated with climate change, sustainable finance, and consumer budget baskets.…”

This study presents a holistic and longitudinal view of the household budget basket concerning climate change and sustainable finance matters. It aims to understand their impact on the budget basket by examining the relationship between money, climate change and sustainable finance in a global economy for transition countries. Comprehensive CPI data were collected in Kosovo from 2002 to 2022, and data analysis was performed using statistical methods such as t-tests and proximity matrixes in SPSS. The results show significant differences between the average and desired values within the budget basket, indicating changes in consumer behavior, particularly in food expenditures, budget allocations, and climate change impacts. Interesting patterns emerge, such as correlations between bread, cereals, and meat, and the absence of fish in some purchases. Spending on clothing and other goods also deviates from desired values. These findings highlight the complex relationship between money, climate change, sustainable finance, and consumer spending patterns, and underscore the need to address the gap between expected and desired spending values for the global economy in transition economies. Future research should focus on analyzing household spending and its interaction with other factors to improve personal financial management and promote sustainable financial behavior in a larger number of global economies.
