Decentralized governance and climate change

edited by Jorge Martinez-Vazquez (Emeritus Regents Professor of Economics and founding Director, Public Finance Research Cluster and International Center for Public Policy, Georgia State University, Atlanta, USA), Paul Smoke (Professor of Public Finance and Planning, Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, New York University, USA) and Serdar Yilmaz (Practice Manager, Public Finance and Procurement, Global Governance Practice, The World Bank, USA and Adjunct Faculty, Marmara University, Istanbul, Türkiye)

"This book sheds light on the underexamined roles of subnational governments (SNGs) in mitigating and responding to climate change issues. Drawing on scientific, institutional, fiscal and political perspectives, it provides novel insights into the governance of the crucial intersection between decentralization and climate action, with a particular focus on developing countries. Expert scholars and practitioners consider how SNGs can contribute to sustainable development, as well as the impact of climate realities on their ability to respond. They explore the ongoing challenges of enacting effective climate change policies across diverse countries and governance structures, presenting detailed case studies that highlight the need for a contextualized strategic approach. The book evaluates a range of fiscal mechanisms for financing SNG climate change action, emphasizing the value of cooperative decision making and outlining innovative avenues for future research and action. Interdisciplinary in scope, this perceptive book is a vital resource for students and academics across public finance, economics, public administration, political science and governance. Its coverage of cutting-edge debates and practical issues will also greatly benefit professionals involved in decentralization and climate change"--
