Preferred term

environmental governance  

Definition

  • How the environment and environmental issues are interpreted, controlled, manipulated and regulated by politicians, institutions, businessmen and civil society. Environmental governance is arguably poorly developed with a lack of co-ordination between the various actors, inadequate resources devoted to environmental concerns and the dominance of economic over ecological criteria. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environmental Change; environmental governance]
