Description

Catalonia introduced provisions in the Catalan Law on Climate Change in August 2017 for a carbon tax, which would apply to GHG emissions from large installations in the power, industry, agriculture and waste sectors, including EU ETS installations. Income from the tax would go to a Climate Fund to be used for climate-change mitigation and adaptation policies.

Coverage

Catalonia’s active carbon?pricing instrument is the CO??vehicle tax. Sectoral carbon budgets proposed by the Committee of Experts on Climate Change may guide future policy, potentially enabling new environmental taxes or expanded carbon-pricing beyond vehicles. Revenues continue funding the Climate Fund and Natural Heritage Fund for mitigation, adaptation, and sustainable mobility projects.
