In 2024, Trinidad and Tobago, Eswatini, and Nicaragua led the global air pollution-related tax revenue. Significant variation was observed over the past year, with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine recording notable rises, while Bulgaria, Guyana, and Ghana experienced declines. The five-year CAGR highlights a steady increase in developing nations, whereas developed countries showed slower growth or minor declines. The data underscores robust revenue generation from environmental taxes, despite varying regional and national approaches to air pollution management.
Looking ahead, countries focusing on green technologies and stricter environmental policies are expected to see increased tax revenue. Meanwhile, global collaborations and climate agreements could influence the harmonization of environmental tax strategies across different regions, potentially altering tax landscapes in the years to come.
