Aarhus University, Faculty of Business and Social Sciences and Faculty of Science and Technology, invite the submission of papers and abstracts for the 15th Global Conference on Environmental Taxation (GCET), to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 24-26 September 2014. The theme for the conference is Environmental Taxation and Emissions Trading in an Era of Climate Change.
Over the past 15 years, the GCET conferences have materialized as a useful and important meeting place for experts and scholars from all parts of the world taking interest in experiences and insights relating to environmental taxation in a wide sense. The fiscal perspective has also become significant following the recent economic and financial crisis.
With the prospects of a new round of climate negotiations leading up to the Conference of the Parties to take place in Paris in 2015, now is the time for GCET to take stock of the economic, legal and political formulas and challenges for addressing greenhouse gases efficiently and convincingly.
With climate change beginning to bite, a new framework is emerging as well for the management of natural resources and pollution of air, water and soil for which economic instruments remain highly topical. The conference invites submissions related to these wider challenges in an era of climate change, including but not reserved to water management and flooding.
The conference will features a series of parallel sessions exploring a wide range of topics relating to charges, fees, taxes, subsidies, tax expenditures, emissions trading and voluntary approaches from economic, legal and policy perspectives. According to the tradition of the GCET conferences, abstracts by academic scholars are encouraged as well as abstracts from experts representing national and international administrations and organisations.
All abstracts must be submitted in word format to the conference email at:
