Greater reliance on energy taxation is needed to strengthen efforts to tackle the principal source of both greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, according to a new OECD report. In 2015, outside of road transport, 81% of emissions were untaxed, according to the report. In road transport, 97% of emissions are taxed.
