Good news for all podcast lovers: we have recently launched our podcast also on Spotify, you may also find us here. The first episode of our podcast is already available on our channel, go hear us out! Podcasts will still be published on YouTube, if that is your preferred platform.

The first episode with Joy A. Kim, Senior Economic Affairs Officer at UNEP and Khalid Hamid, International Director at CIPFA discusses Taxation for Green Transition alongside the moderator Joanna Kokot from the European Court of Auditors. The episode is part of INTOSAI WGEA Green Economy Hub Project on Green Fiscal Policy Tools.

The discussion delves into understanding of the main advantages of using taxation as a tool for green transition, while also providing more insight on the challenges and solutions taxation has for environmental initiatives. Both Kim and Hamid provide excellent perspectives and observations on the success and the impacts of the green taxation reforms. According to research, sustainable alternatives such as carbon pricing directly influence economic behavior. How is environmental taxation distributed among people and what about globally? What are the long-term enablers within? What key lessons have been learned from taxation reforms?

Stay tuned for our new episode next week, which discusses the sufficiency of long-term considerations in assessing government action with three speakers from different SAIs with Secretary-General of the WGEA, Vivi Niemenmaa.
