Environmental Policy

Environmental policy in public administration refers to the decisions and actions taken by government agencies to protect and manage the natural environment. This includes creating laws and regulations to reduce pollution, conserve natural resources, and promote sustainable practices. Public administrators work to implement these policies effectively, ensuring that they are enforced and that communities are informed. The goal is to balance economic development with environmental sustainability, ensuring a healthy ecosystem for current and future generations. Essentially, it’s about how governments guide society's relationship with the environment.
