In 2014 the Ministry of Planning, Budget and Management launched a project to track environment-related spending across the government, in co-operation with the Institute for Applied Economic Research. This initiative will help improve understanding of the effectiveness and efficiency of public resource allocation, it should be continued with rigour and, over time, extended to state and municipal spending. Most states and large municipalities operate environmental funds, partly fed by revenue from environmental fines, by comparison, in most OECD countries revenue from fines goes to the government budget, as the incentive to collect revenue may hamper actions to prevent non-compliance.
