Factors such as conflict, mass displacement, natural disasters, and climate change have intensified outbreaks, particularly in rural and flood-affected areas, where poor infrastructure and limited healthcare access delay treatment. These cross-border dynamics have made cholera outbreaks increasingly complex and harder to control.

Yet they suffer from degradation, poor management, and overuse due to government subsidies.

Detox Development: Repurposing Environmentally Harmful Subsidies examines the impact of subsidies on these foundational natural assets. Explicit and implicit subsidies—estimated to exceed US$7 trillion per year—not only promote inefficiencies but also cause much environmental harm.

The report fills significant knowledge gaps in the literature using new data and empirical methods. It aims to enhance our understanding of the scale of subsidies and their impacts, and offer solutions that are available to reform or repurpose them in efficient and equitable ways. By improving our understanding of the magnitude, consequences, and drivers of policy successes and failures, we can render future reforms more achievable.
