Anticipatory Regulatory Framework

An Anticipatory Regulatory Framework is a proactive approach to regulation that aims to foresee and address potential risks or challenges posed by new technologies, practices, or industries before they become widespread. Rather than reacting after problems occur, regulators work to identify issues early and implement guidelines or rules that can prevent negative consequences. This framework encourages innovation while ensuring that public safety, ethical standards, and environmental concerns are considered from the outset. By being forward-thinking, it helps balance the benefits of progress with protection for society and the planet.
