In Colombia, a series of environmental taxes was created as a strategy to reduce the destruction of the environment that has been seen over the years, which depends on a series of interrelated factors, including the evolution of environmental awareness, the capacity of the government to effectively implement and manage these taxes with the economic and cultural dynamics of the country. Information was collected from articles, writings, degree works and various reliable sources so that in the same way an adequate analysis was achieved and a positive support for the taxes structured in Colombia along with their applicability was achieved; since if implemented and managed effectively and integrated into a long-term sustainable development vision, green taxes can play an important role in protecting Colombia's natural resources and mitigating climate change. With these taxes, the government promotes citizen participation and adaptation to changing challenges. In this work, the main objective was the analysis of the applicability of green taxes in a particular case determined by the company Internacional de Eléctricos S.A.S. to break down in more detail the relationship between the theoretical part and the practical field.
