Dear GCET friends,

It is with great honour and pleasure that we invite you to Calgary, Alberta, Canada for the 21st Global Conference on Environmental Taxation.

GCET is the leading global forum for exchanges on the principles and practices of environmental taxation and other market-based instruments for the development and maintenance of sustainable practices and resource-efficient societies. Research presented at the previous twenty conferences has helped provide a much stronger theoretical and empirical underpinning of the legal, economic and behavioural issues in this area. In line with the tradition of previous GCET conferences, a selection of the best contributions of GCET21 will be published in the prestigious book series “Critical Issues in Environmental Taxation” from Edward Elgar publishers.

The main theme for GCET21 is “CleanTech Innovation”. Abstracts and papers can be submitted within a broad range of related topics.

The conference will be organized by the Dhillon School of Business – Calgary Campus, of the University of Lethbridge, located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the most populous city in Alberta.

The target audiences for GCET21 are individuals from all parts of the world who are interested in the exchange of ideas, information, and research findings about environmental taxation issues and sustainable economic development, including:

• Government officials from all levels of administration including provincial, state, and territorial levels, ministries and departments of finance, taxation, transport, urban design, energy, water, environment, natural resources, etc.
• Representatives from international and non-governmental organizations, tax and accounting professionals, private sector executives, and experts
• Academics from Universities and Institutions of Higher Education in the field of law, economics, taxation, accounting, public administration, environmental studies, etc.

We look forward to welcoming you to Calgary!
