| Beskrivelse: | This article outlines the different options, challenges, and possibilities Costa Rica has to alter fiscal incentives with a view to reducing their impact on the environment and combating, through emissions reduction and other measures, the local and global consequences of climate change. Climate change and its effects have become one of the main global problems of the 21st century. Although Costa Rica had committed to a carbon neutrality goal by 2021, this process was redefined in the new strategy for 2030. Costa Rica has set itself the goal of becoming a carbon-neutral country, which not only represents a challenge in terms of reducing emissions, but also involves technological and institutional change capable of ensuring the sustainability of the country's objective. The methodological approach used is to identify current fiscal and parafiscal instruments, as well as possible future measures in this field, essentially through existing secondary information. The country needs to adjust economic incentives to promote low-emission technologies and production processes. To this end, the use of fiscal instruments can be of great help in achieving this objective. |
