Download or read book Two approaches to pricing pollution written by Christina van Breugel and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report compares the Cap and Trade method with an alternative method, the Flexible Fee Mechanism. The Flexible Fee Mechanism was created as a response to political and other practical obstacles often preventing the efficient application of other methods. The main focus of the Flexible Fee Mechanism is the levying of a fee at the point where a pollution-inducing product enters the economy. The fee is then raised sufficiently (and sufficiently often) to effectively stimulate the transformation of the economy in a sustainable direction. At the same time, the revenue from the fee is directed back into the economy to stimulate alternatives, demand and employment. Still, key questions remain unanswered in this report. This project was launched by the Working Group for SCP (HKP) in collaboration with the Working Group on Environment and Economy (MEG) under the Nordic Council of Ministers.

Download or read book An Effluent Tax on Pollution Can be a Viable Alternative to the Use of Regulatory Standards written by Andrew Kwai Sing Tom and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this paper is to discuss why an effluent tax scheme may represent the most viable pollution control mechanism. It will specifically limit its focus on water pollution control and non-municipal waste discharges, although the discussion should be general enough to have application for some aspects of municipal discharges. The report is divided into two sections. The first half will discuss the theory of externalities, and how the existing system of standards fails to provide the best solution to the problem. There will then be discussion of the alternatives, and an explanation of why of all those available, the effluent tax scheme seems to be the most viable. The second half will discuss the reasons why an effluent tax approach could be advantageous to industry. It will concentrate on the concepts of risk aversion, social responsibility, and the inclusive subject of strategic planning to support this position. The purpose of this paper is not to develop a model effluent tax regulation, nor is it meant to provide the definitive rationale as to why a specific effluent tax scheme is appropriate for all industrial dischargers. It is meant instead to provide discussion of the advantages of such an approach and finally to discuss some of the circumstances that could provide business with the incentive to cooperate with government to produce a non-adversary, more efficient environmental program. It must be understood that there are problems inherent in the imposition of any type of system for environmental protection. The effluent tax scheme is supported primarily as the least harmful of all the alternatives and at least better than the existing regulatory approach. The position of this paper is that a level of taxation for pollution can be found which will provide financial incentive for business to support such an approach and which will provide a more equitable, more efficient way of achieving our national environmental goals. An effluent tax approach can provide a more flexible means of achieving optimal levels of conservation and recycling, greater awareness of the interrelationship between environmental factors and can become the cornerstone for an integrated approach utilizing a wide range of methods to attain desired goals. As an aside, let me state that this paper will not deal with discharges of hazardous or toxic wastes, which can be of great detriment to human and environmental welfare. (6) These substances are best prohibited from discharge into receiving waters, and an effluent tax scheme is supplemented by direct regulatory prohibition of toxic discharges, in such cases"--Document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the theoretical foundations for idealized pollution-control market-based incentives (MBI). It then focuses on the way in which environmental taxes, deposit refund systems, and tradeable pollution permits may be more suitable instruments for inducing pollution-abatement behaviour. A number of international examples of the implementation of such policies are reviewed.
Download or read book Clean Coastal Waters written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-08-17 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental problems in coastal ecosystems can sometimes be attributed to excess nutrients flowing from upstream watersheds into estuarine settings. This nutrient over-enrichment can result in toxic algal blooms, shellfish poisoning, coral reef destruction, and other harmful outcomes. All U.S. coasts show signs of nutrient over-enrichment, and scientists predict worsening problems in the years ahead. Clean Coastal Waters explains technical aspects of nutrient over-enrichment and proposes both immediate local action by coastal managers and a longer-term national strategy incorporating policy design, classification of affected sites, law and regulation, coordination, and communication. Highlighting the Gulf of Mexico's "Dead Zone," the Pfiesteria outbreak in a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and other cases, the book explains how nutrients work in the environment, why nitrogen is important, how enrichment turns into over-enrichment, and why some environments are especially susceptible. Economic as well as ecological impacts are examined. In addressing abatement strategies, the committee discusses the importance of monitoring sites, developing useful models of over-enrichment, and setting water quality goals. The book also reviews voluntary programs, mandatory controls, tax incentives, and other policy options for reducing the flow of nutrients from agricultural operations and other sources.
