Environmental Management and Policy

Environmental Management and Policy Name Institutional Affiliation Environmental Management and Policy The government encapsulates the administrative body charged with the legal responsibility of running the activities in a given society. A community is a group of people sharing some common attributes such as ancestry or a similar temporal location. The environment is a pivotal aspect of the world. Such a facet entails the interaction between the faunal and floral life. The government has a moral and legal mandate to ensure that there is a smooth and constructive association between the people and the immediate surrounding for the sake of the current population and posterity. There is a grave need to understand the rationale behind the government liaison between the community and diverse environment-oriented agencies with a view to achieving a sustainable ambiance that could account for the people and the other organisms coexisting in a given biome (Climate change, the indoor environment, and health, 2011). By so doing, the negative anthropogenic menaces imposed on the environment such as pollution and other environmental degradation activities will be arrested and a constructive phase fostered. The government needs to devise stringent measures in the process of attempting to curb environmental contamination. The respective decisions may be so radical that there arises gross ramification on the lives of the stakeholders such as the people and agencies that may be entangled in the release of pollutants into the environment.

The bottom-up broach is deployed whereby all the members are given the opportunity to contribute to the alleviation of land dereliction and thus ameliorating the livelihoods of the community ("Government Partnerships to Reduce Air Pollution | US EPA", 2019). The concept of “environment citizenship” enshrines the aspect where every person is entitled to ensure that such people have a positive interaction between them and the environment.

Environmental citizenship is not only crucial to the efficient cooperation between the stakeholders but it is also vital in keeping the surrounding conducive for both people and other organisms.
