Environmental Policy and Regulation

Environmental Policy and Regulation involves creating and enforcing rules to protect the environment and manage natural resources. This includes laws aimed at reducing pollution, conserving ecosystems, and ensuring sustainable use of resources like water, forests, and minerals. Policymakers use economic principles to balance environmental goals with economic growth, often using tools like taxes, permits, and subsidies. The objective is to minimize environmental harm while promoting the well-being of society, ensuring that future generations have access to clean air, water, and healthy ecosystems. Effective policies rely on scientific evidence and stakeholder input for balanced decision-making.
