Chapter Chapter 1 in A Forest Environment Tax Scheme in Japan, 2022, pp 1-23 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In Japan, the “Law of Forest Environment Tax and Forest Environment Transfer Tax” was enacted in March 2019. This established the “Forest Ecotax” (taxed from 2024) and the “Forest Ecotax” (transferred from 2019). The present chapter gives the background to establishing the forest environment tax from both a domestic and an international perspective. In Sect. 1.2, the forest ecotax is examined through the trends of Japan’s forests and forestry and the multifaceted functions of forests, while in Sect. 1.3, forest-related issues are analyzed from the global perspective of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
