Environmental Policy

Environmental Policy refers to the principles and actions taken by governments, organizations, and individuals to manage human activities that have a direct or indirect impact on the environment. It encompasses a broad range of regulations, laws, and guidelines aimed at protecting natural resources, reducing pollution, and promoting sustainable practices. Environmental policy can include measures for biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, waste management, and air and water quality standards. It serves to balance economic development with ecological integrity, aiming for the sustainable use of resources while safeguarding the environment for future generations. The effectiveness of environmental policy is often determined by its scientific basis, public support, and compliance mechanisms.
