CRAWFORD* ABSTRACT This essay introduces the symposium issue of the Pace Environmental Law Review featuring seven works written in connection with the March 2025 conference on Taxation, the Environment, and Climate Change. This essay identifies and explores three common themes in the articles: (1) the role of taxation in environmental protection, (2) the tax law's impact on hu- man behavior, and (3) the optimal design for tax laws to mitigate climate change. This essay also sketches a few possible directionsfor future scholar- ship at the intersection of taxation and environmental law. It concludes by emphasizing the need for lawyers, lawmakers, policymakers, and advocates who have a deep understanding of both fields. * University Distinguished Professor, Elisabeth Haub School of Law, and President, American Tax Policy Institute.
