- Abstract
Environmental policy and green governance represent vital frameworks established to confront the urgent issues associated with environmental degradation and climate change. This abstract investigates the confluence of policy formulation and sustainable governance, accentuating the imperative for comprehensive strategies that foster ecological integrity alongside social equity. The formulation of effective environmental policies is indispensable for the regulation of resource utilization, the mitigation of pollution, and the preservation of biodiversity. Conversely, green governance incorporates the involvement of a myriad of stakeholders, which includes governmental bodies, corporate industries, and civil society, in decision-making frameworks that prioritize sustainability. This manuscript explores the fundamental tenets of green governance, including transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness, and their importance in enhancing the effectiveness of environmental policies. Furthermore, it highlights successful case studies and best practices from various global contexts illustrating how cooperative efforts can generate innovative solutions and strengthen community resilience.
