Carbon Taxes in Europe

Several countries have implemented measures to reduce carbon emissions, including environmental regulations, emissions trading systems (ETSs), and carbon taxes.
Finland was the first country to introduce a carbon tax in 1990, and since then, 18 European countries have implemented carbon taxes.
The rates of these taxes vary, with Sweden, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland having the highest rates.
Carbon taxes can be levied on different greenhouse gases, and the scope of each country’s tax varies.
All EU member states, along with Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, are part of the EU Emissions Trading System.
Some countries have overlapping national carbon taxes and ETSs, leading to double taxation. Some countries also apply multiple taxes or ETSs at different rates.
Catalonia is considering implementing a subnational carbon tax.
