Green Paper

A Green Paper is an initial discussion document issued by a government or organization to gather feedback on a proposed policy or idea. It outlines key issues, options, and possible courses of action, inviting stakeholders and the public to provide input before official decisions are made. The purpose is to stimulate debate, refine proposals, and ensure that future policies are well-informed and widely accepted. Green Papers are part of the consultation process, serving as a foundation for developing more detailed proposals or legislation.
