The Impact of Climate Change on Revenues from Environmental Taxes and Expenses for Environmental Protection in the EU for 2010–2020

In the last decades, climate change has been treated more and more frequently in the literature, as its consequences multiply. However, specific local, regional, or global studies are still needed to discern the particular aspects of climate change and the most effective ways to mitigate it. Therefore, through an econometric analysis, the article aims to address a set of indicators of climate change and highlight their impact on the evolution of taxes and national environmental expenses, in EU member countries, for the period 2010–2020. The work reveals the need to increase the efficiency of taxation and environmental expenses, through a better involvement of the governments of the EU states.
