Redesigning fiscal decentralization to combat climate change

Jorge Martinez-Vazquez

Chapter 2 in Decentralized Governance and Climate Change, 2025, pp 29-51 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The main goal of this chapter is to integrate the need for climate change policy action into the existing best practice framework of intergovernmental fiscal design. A second objective is to review and highlight how different countries, both federations and other fiscally decentralized countries, have been addressing the challenges of climate change. The third aim is to provide lessons that will inform policymakers and technical assistance providers on the redesign of intergovernmental fiscal relations so as to strengthen subnational governments’ capabilities to take climate change action and more effectively collaborate with central authorities.
