Summary
This book addresses the increasingly urgent question: How can governments be held more accountable for environmental stewardship? It explores enhanced national State of the Environment reporting and integration of environmental outcomes in key national indicators; mainstreaming environmental goals, targets, and risks by integrating them in fiscal policy and the annual budget, a governments most powerful policy instrument; and progressively exposing and eliminating harmful tax and expenditures policies, putting a price on pollution, and providing environmental public goods. The book combines in-depth assessment of the latest green and climate budgeting literature and country practices with discussion of entry points for greening fiscal policy, and the role of civil society monitoring. It will be of interest to finance and budget officials, to environment agencies, oversight institutions, international organizations, and civil society organizations, and to academics and students in the fields of environmental studies, development studies, economics, public finance, and public policy. Murray Petrie has wide experience as a public official, international civil servant, consultant, civil society activist, and academic researcher in public sector governance, financial management, and the interface between fiscal policy and the environment. He has published widely in these areas and is a member of the IMFs Panel of Fiscal Experts and the OECD Expert Group on Green Budgeting.
