Fiscal balances have been the most notable proxies for fiscal policies in these studies but also the general public expenditure has been considered.

Incentive-based conservation has become a significant part of how tropical forests are being governed. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) is a mechanism to mitigate climate change that many countries have started to implement.

Pertanto, le valutazioni critiche dei discorsi politici populisti dovrebbero iniziare pPost-truth political discourses, exemplified by Trump’s rhetoric, are not primarily based on facts. What appears to be important when the electorate evaluates these discourses is whether the politicians who are speaking are genuine or authentic, not whether every word uttered is ‘true’. Therefore, critical evaluations of populist political discourses should begin by asking questions about what kin
