Background of the Study
Environmental taxes are gaining recognition as an effective tool for addressing environmental degradation and promoting sustainable development. These taxes are designed to internalize the environmental costs of economic activities, incentivizing businesses and individuals to adopt eco-friendly practices. In Keffi LGA, the implementation of environmental taxes is seen as a potential mechanism to address pressing environmental challenges, including waste management and deforestation.
However, public opinion plays a critical role in the successful implementation of environmental taxes. Understanding how residents of Keffi LGA perceive environmental taxes—whether as a burden or as a necessary step towards sustainability—is crucial for policymakers. This study seeks to examine public opinion on environmental tax implementation in Keffi LGA and its implications for policy adoption.
