Not even the tax can do it, because polluters will migrate.

You would have to combine the tax with more serious measures like duties based on either estimated or actual emissions level. Or outright bans.

Additionally mandating certain important practices like garbage disposal, reduction and methane capture.

High tariffs on countries not following suit will take care of that. Try the carrot first but if they don't want to contribute then use the stick.
