Main Article Content

Abstract

Environmental degradation has led governments and international organizations to explore and propose mechanisms that promote sustainability. One such proposal is known as green taxes, which have emerged as a tool to boost tax revenues and strengthen public policies. A bibliometric study was conducted to identify the level of scientific production and development of the main variables related to research regions, areas of knowledge, and data of great relevance to research. During the period 2010–2025, a total of 11,172 publications related to green taxes and fiscal sustainability were produced. These are distributed as follows: 75.4% scientific articles, 8.8% conference papers, 8.6% book chapters, 1.7% review papers, 1.8% books, and 1.8% other documents. This highlights the importance and rise in popularity of the study variables over the years.
