“Decentralized Environmental Governance: A Way Forward towards Efficient Environment Protection”
As the discussion about Climate Change occurs internationally or at a global level, it is equally correct that most important contemporary changes in environmental governance occurs at Sub-National Level. Such De-centralized mechanisms can produce greater efficiency because it can bring decision making closer to those affected by Governance, thereby promoting higher participation and accountability. It also helps decision makers to take advantage of place specific knowledge regarding environment resource.
Environmental Governance is the sum of organizations, policy instruments, financing mechanisms, rules, procedures and norms that regulate the process of environment protection. The end goal is to improve the state of the environment and to eventually lead to the broader goal of sustainable development. Green growth strategies are needed to promote sustainable growth and to break the pattern of natural resource depletion. Policy decisions are constantly taken and are floated through various schemes nationally and agreements internationally to combat the environmental challenges.
In this context, GCESD invites research paper that focus on the innovative policies and schemes that can help to mitigate the Environmental challenges and promote sustainable development through comparative research across countries. The research papers should contribute in suggesting policy decisions for a State particularly with respect to the Environment conditions prevailing there.
Rules for Publication:
The authors would be intimated about selection of the paper within one week of their submission.
