Background of the Study
Pollution is a significant challenge in Bokkos LGA, where industrial activities, improper waste disposal, and deforestation have contributed to environmental degradation. Environmental taxes serve as an economic tool to discourage polluting activities and promote cleaner alternatives. By increasing the cost of pollution, these taxes encourage businesses and individuals to adopt more sustainable practices.
The impact of environmental taxes on pollution control in Bokkos LGA remains largely unexplored. This study examines how these taxes affect pollution levels and the adoption of pollution control measures, providing a basis for evidence-based policymaking.
