Environmental Policy

Environmental Policy refers to the principles and regulations established by governments or organizations aimed at managing human activities to protect the environment and ensure sustainable use of natural resources. This policy encompasses a wide range of issues including pollution control, resource conservation, biodiversity preservation, climate change mitigation, and the management of renewable and non-renewable resources. It involves setting standards, guidelines, and regulatory frameworks to minimize environmental harm and promote sustainable practices. Environmental policy can be implemented through various mechanisms including legislation, incentives, and educational campaigns, and it often aims to balance economic development with environmental stewardship. The effectiveness of environmental policies is often assessed through their impact on environmental quality, public health, and social equity.
