Abstract

This article analyzes the possibilities of reforming energy-environmental taxation in Spain as part of a wider strategy of climate change mitigation. After studying the theoretical context of these taxes in a federal framework and some relevant international experiences, the paper evaluates the utility and feasibility of these taxes in subnational jurisdictions. In Spain, the current situation of these taxes is characterized by the disinterest of the central government and the lack of coordination of regional initiatives. This scenario requires a reform based on coordination, with an adequate jurisdictional allocation of these taxes, with flexible solutions that could facilitate the development of effective regional initiatives in this field.
