Environmental Policy
Environmental policy making involves a wide range of stakeholders including government agencies, non-governmental organizations, businesses, and the general public. Understanding the key players involved in environmental policy making is critical to understanding how policies are developed and implemented.
Government agencies are often the primary driver of environmental policy. At the federal level, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for developing and enforcing regulations to protect the environment. State environmental agencies also play a key role in developing and implementing environmental policies.
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) also play an important role in shaping environmental policy. These organizations can be advocacy groups, research institutions, or community organizations. They help to raise public awareness about environmental issues and provide information and analysis to policymakers.
Businesses are also key players in environmental policy making. They can be affected by environmental regulations and have a strong interest in shaping policies that affect their operations. Businesses can provide input into policy development through trade associations or by directly lobbying policymakers.
Finally, the general public can also play a role in environmental policy making. Public opinion can shape policy decisions and influence the behavior of policymakers. Public participation in the policy making process can take many forms, including public comment periods, public hearings, and citizen advisory committees.
