ACCA Supported Event: 9th Global Conference on Environmental Taxation

Singapore Academy of Law and the Asia-Pacific Centre for Environmental Law, NUS, are proud to jointly present the 9th Global Conference on Environmental Taxation to be conducted on 6 & 7 November 2008 at the Le Meridien Singapore.

The Global Conference on Environmental Taxation is an annual series of conferences which provides a global forum for the exchange of ideas, information and research findings on environmental taxation and economic instruments across international boundaries and professional disciplines.

The 9th Global Conference on Environmental Taxation will focus on the special problems of the urban environment and the challenges which confront cities and megacities. Issues to be examined include energy generation and consumption, transportation, pollution, population growth, housing, urban development and public health. The role and efficacy of fiscal policies and market-based instruments will be evaluated, particularly from the perspectives of developed and developing countries. The conference aims to create a venue for discussions and the sharing of experiences on the use of fiscal instruments to guide policy makers toward ensuring the sustainability of urban environments in the wake of rapid industrialization, depleting natural resources, continued population growth, and climate change.
