concerning environment can not remain local because the effects of environmental
mis-management cross-state and national boundaries. Pollution cannot remain the concern of
the place where it originates because it goes on to affect a much bigger geographical
area. Environmental activists insist that natural endowments can be better managed and
effectively regulated as the local level. But they also apprehend a dilution of regulatory
enforcement at the local level. In times of global concerns about environmental issues a
system of cooperative federalism can offer a framework where responsibilities are shared.
Instead of just imposing national or international mandates on the lower tiers of
governance, environmental protection would be better managed if the latter are given more
share in regulation and enforcement. Environment is an area where federal devolution can
provide the solution for welfare governance.
