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.

In a multi-level government system institutional legacy and the assignment of roles and responsibilities between the federal and the subnational governments create imbalances. These imbalances in economic terms are a result of a mismatch between revenue-raising capacity and the spending responsibilities of the different levels of the government.Intergovernmental Transfers in Federations presents a synthesis of recent international experience of large federations in addressing the most fundamental issues of horizontal and vertical imbalances through the prism of intergovernmental transfers. It compares mature federal systems and the maturing federations of the world. Contributors delve into the various aspects of policymaking as well as policy choices in selecting an efficiency path for a meaningful fiscal devolution aimed at integrating performance and incentives to reach an expenditure mix that facilitates better service delivery. Chapters include empirical, theoretical and methodological contributions as well as case studies that illustrate important policy or methodological lessons for future work.This collection is essential reading for researchers, practitioners, policy makers and students wishing to understand the choices made by different countries in response to the overarching principles of needs, equity and efficiency for sharing of resources.
