Environmental Policy

Environmental Policy refers to the set of regulations, laws, and guidelines formulated and enacted by governments, organizations, and institutions to address environmental issues and promote sustainable practices. Its primary aim is to manage human impacts on the natural environment, protect natural resources, and promote ecological balance. Environmental policy encompasses various areas including air and water quality, waste management, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation. It seeks to promote sustainable development, integrate environmental considerations into decision-making processes, and encourage the responsible use of natural resources. Effective environmental policies may involve a combination of regulatory measures, economic incentives, and voluntary approaches to encourage compliance and foster environmental stewardship.
