The study was undertaken in the context of a UNEP-led project on Environment, Health and Pollution which seeks to provide the needed understanding, capacities and tools to help countries and stakeholders take effective action to address pollution. As part of this project, a series of studies have been carried out which explore the effective use of fiscal policies for pollution reduction. These fiscal studies contribute to the Implementation Plan ‘Towards a pollution-free planet’ adopted at the Third UN Environment Assembly (UNEA-3) which identifies stimulating good practices through fiscal policy as an accelerator for implementation. 3 Table of Contents List of figures ................................................................................................................................... 8 List of tables..................................................................................................................................... 9 List of Abbreviations ...................................................................................................................... 10 Executive Summary ....................................................................................................................... 13 1.
