Solving the world’s environmental problems could take a significant toll on economic growth if only today’s technologies are available. Innovation – the creation and adoption of new, cleaner technologies and know-how – provides a means to achieve local and global environmental goals at significantly lower costs. This new flyer describes work OECD is currently doing on the innovation impacts of environmentally related taxes and similar policy instruments. Many of the case studies of the project are available at www.oecd.org/env/taxes.
