Launching Conference for Green Budget Europe, September 25th 2008 in Brussels
Encouraged both by our experiences as a specialised NGO, which has supported EFR since 1994, and the resonance and recognition we received at the Global Conference on Environmental Taxation we organised in Munich in October 2007, we feel that the time is ripe for the formation of a similar platform to Green Budget Germany at the European level. The conference will serve to launch the Green Budget Europe platform on Market Based Instruments (MBIs) officially in Brussels. It will be back-to-back with the EEB Annual Conference, and it is hoped that participants and speakers attend both conference days. The EEB is an important partner in the GBE platform and we are most grateful for its support in organising this launching event.

The Website of the Ninth Global Conference on Environmental Taxation is online! The 9th Global Conference on Environmental Taxation will be hosted by the Asia-Pacific Centre for Environmental Law (APCEL), Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore (NUS). Other partners include the Centre on Asia and Globalisation at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, NUS; the Association of Chartered and Certified Accountants in Singapore (ACCA), the IUCN Academy of Environmental Law, and the International Tax and Investment Centre (ITIC) in Washington DC, USA.
The conference will focus on the special problems of the urban environment and the challenges which confront cities and megacities. Issues to be examined include energy generation and consumption, transportation, pollution, population growth, housing, urban development and public health. The role and efficacy of fiscal policies and market-based instruments will be evaluated, particularly from the perspectives of developed and developing countries. The conference aims to create a venue for discussions and the sharing of experiences on the use of fiscal instruments to guide policy makers toward ensuring the sustainability of urban environments in the wake of rapid industrialization, depleting natural resources, continued population growth, and climate change.
