N. E. P (National Environmental Policy)

The National Environmental Policy (NEP) is a framework that guides government and organizational decisions to protect the environment. It emphasizes considering environmental impacts early in planning projects, promoting sustainable practices, and balancing development with conservation. By requiring assessments like Environmental Impact Statements, the NEP helps prevent or minimize harm to ecosystems, public health, and natural resources, ensuring that development benefits society without compromising the environment for future generations. It encourages responsible decision-making to achieve a harmonious relationship between economic growth and environmental preservation.
