China is one of the most fiscally decentralized countries in the world, with 85 percent of government spending occurring at subnational levels. In this context, fiscal transfers are one of the national government’s most important tools for motivating and aligning environmental actions across levels of government and jurisdictional boundaries. The government has signaled a strong interest in expanding eco-compensation as part of reforms towards a higher quality greener growth model. Drawing on a unique dataset built from records across government, academia, and news media, this report traces the rise of eco-compensation, explores its current use, provides recommendations to strengthen impacts, and distills broad lessons from China for similar policies globally. 2022-02-24T22:26:39Z 2022-02-24T22:26:39Z 2022-02-11 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/099120202112224400/P168160098d5ca0720a23c0fa9f168a6688 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/37031 English en CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC Report Publications & Research East Asia and Pacific China
