Environmental Principles and Policies

Six principles

The six principles discussed in the book are:

• the sustainability principle
• the polluter pays principle
• the precautionary principle
• the equity principle
• the human rights principles
• the participation principle

Interdisciplinary approach

This book on environmental policy-making takes a critical and interdisciplinary approach. Rather than merely setting out policy options in a descriptive way, it evaluates policies from different perspectives. This enables readers to gain a thorough understanding of important principles and current policies, and also to be able to apply the various principles and critically evaluate them.
