Book Launch "Tributação e Alterações Climáticas - Diálogo Norte-Sul" ("Taxation and Climate Change: A North–South Dialogue")

Coordinated by Professor Dr Clotilde Celorico Palma (CIDEEFF) and Professor Dr Tathiane Piscitelli, this book addresses the pressing environmental emergency, posing a fundamental question: how can taxation become an ally in building a sustainable future? Bringing together Portuguese and Brazilian experts, the book presents a critical, interdisciplinary, and comparative analysis of the role of fiscal policy in responding to the climate crisis. From carbon taxation to the redesign of fiscal policies, and through instruments such as the Selective Tax, the Plastic Bag Tax, the Carbon Tax, and the Financial Transaction Tax, the authors explore pathways to integrate social justice, environmental efficiency, and economic viability.

With a focus on the realities of Portugal and Brazil, while remaining attentive to the international context, the chapters discuss innovative fiscal solutions, the risks of unilateral approaches, and the structural challenges that must be faced. It is an essential read for those seeking to understand the transformative potential of the tax system in the transition towards a low-carbon economy.

The book also features a foreword by Dr Tiago Pitta e Cunha.
