In September 2008, Feasta, the Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability was awarded multi-annual funding from the Irish Department of the Environment for two policy research projects. This website documents the development of the Smart Taxes project.
The purpose of the Smart Taxes project is to develop policies options to reform fiscal and other financial and monetary mechanisms in Ireland to deliver environmental, social and economic sustainability. Emer O’Siochru is the Project Manager, and David Korowicz is the acting Research Coordinator for the project. Feasta is actively recruiting for a part time Research Coordinator.
The second policy research project addresses climate change, entitled Carbon Cycles and Sinks.
