520			_aEcological fiscal transfers are one of the few scalable instruments to address underinvestment in India’s forests and ecosystems, where ecology expenditures are largely public.

Budget tagging, transparency mechanisms, and outcome dashboards are essential for a due share of ecology at the state level.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/sixteenth-finance-commission/implicit-goals-transfers-explicit-outcomes.html
