Education. 20-3 20.1 New Challenges for a New Century (1 of 3) This is an era of rapid change in the forces and conditions that shape human life. Population Growth: Tomorrow’s world will be shaped by a larger global population. The population has doubled in the last 50 years. • Growing populations need more food, goods, services, and space. • Larger populations aggravate scarcity. • Rising demand for land and natural resources exacerbates conflict. • Growing populations overfish, overharvest, and overgraze
4.

Education. 20-4 Population Increase Aggravates Resource Scarcity
5.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-5 20.1 New Challenges for a New Century (2 of 3) Globalization: Internationally, trade, investment, information, and people flow across borders. Relationships between governments are changing. Communication Revolution: Technology has enhanced people’s ability to receive information and influence events that affect them. Civil society is demanding a greater role in governmental decisions and seeks solutions outside of government’s power.
6.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-6 20.1 New Challenges for a New Century (3 of 3) Knowledge Economy: Knowledge has become the economy’s most important and dynamic resource. • The shift to a knowledge-driven economy has emphasized the positive connections among efficiency, profits, and environmental protection and helped launch a trend in profitable pollution prevention. • Many now understand pollution equates to inefficiency and increased costs.
7.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-7 Kinds of Policy Responses It is important to recognize that economic, environmental, and social goals are integrally linked and to develop policies that reflect that interrelationship. • Governments must use their power to convene and facilitate, shifting from prescribing behavior to supporting responsibility. • Businesses need to build the practice and skills of dialogue with communities and citizens.
8.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-8 Trend Is Not Destiny
9.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-9 Learning from the Past For the past quarter century, the basic pattern of environmental protection in developed nations has been to react to specific crises. EPA has traditionally focused almost exclusively on past and present problems, and ignored anticipated problems yet to arise.
10.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-10 Thinking About the Future (1 of 2) The accelerating rate of change is shrinking the distance between present and future. Environmental effects of changes in global economic activity are being felt more rapidly by both nations and individuals. By taking steps now, the present generation can minimize environmental and financial debts of later generations
11.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-11 Thinking About the Future (2 of 2) Most important remaining sources of pollution are diffuse and widespread. We are recognizing that controlling pollutants alone, no matter how successful, will not achieve an environmentally sustainable economy.
12.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-12 Defining the Future We are progressing from an environmental paradigm based on cleanup and control to one including assessment, anticipation, and avoidance. In the long run, environmental quality is largely a function of behavior of individuals. The extent of environmental awareness and the strength of environmental institutions will be critical factors driving future environmental quality.
13.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-13 Involved Public (1 of 2) The next 50 years will see a world in which people are more crowded, more connected, and more consuming than ever before. However, rates of increase in the growth of human population suggest a transition toward a stable human population.
14.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-14 Options and Trade-offs for the New Century
15.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-15 Involved Public (2 of 2) U.S. population is expected to grow by 23% between 2016 and 2050. • This likely means 23% more cars, trucks, planes, airports, parking lots, houses, landfills, waste treatment plants, chemicals, in short, everything. • We will likely need more farmland to feed everyone. • What will happen to wilderness and wildlife? • The future holds opportunity and excitement as we farm, build, and transport in new ways.
16.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-16 20.2 The Development of Environmental Policy in the U.S. Public policy is the general principle by which government branches are guided in their management of public affairs. Government Branches • Legislative (Congress): Declares and shapes national policy by passing legislation. • Executive (President): Directed to enforce the law. • Judiciary (court system): Interprets law.
17.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-17 Passage of a Law
18.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-18 Legislative Action When Congress considers certain conduct to be against public policy and the public good, it passes legislation. • Congress specifically regulates, controls, or prohibits activity in conflict with public policy and attempts to encourage desirable behavior.
19.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-19 Environmental Responsibilities of Major Agencies of the Executive Branch
20.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-20 Role of Executive Branch Once an environmental law is passed, it becomes the role of the executive branch to put it into force. During the 1970s, many important pieces of environmental legislation were enacted in the United States. Energy and strong environmental policy became a primary area of legislative focus during the Obama administration. The Trump administration is loosening many of the strong environmental polices enacted by previous administrations.
21.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-21 The Role of Nongovernmental Organizations The ongoing challenge for U.S. environmental policy is to build, maintain, and constantly renew public support for effective environmental governance, at home and worldwide. • The U.S. needs a broadly shared vision of the common environmental good, such as on Earth Day in 1970. • Today’s environmental movement rallies the public to arms against corporate polluters and government despoilers, rather than articulating a positive vision.
22.
© 2019 McGraw-Hill
Education. 20-22 The Role of Lobbying in the Development of Environmental Policy (1 of 2) Lobbying is the practice that seeks to alter legislation or administrative action on political issues. Overall, about 3,500 organizations, most of which represent businesses, have Washington DC offices.

Education. 20-24 20.3 Environmental Policy and Regulation The Significance of Administrative Law: U.S. environmental law is governed by administrative law. This area of law defines how government organizations develop and implement regulatory programs they are legislatively authorized to create. • It also applies to groups affected by agency actions— i.e., state programs

Education. 20-25 National Environmental Policy Act—Landmark Legislation In 1969, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was enacted. It is designed to institutionalize a concern for the quality of the environment within the federal government. • NEPA has two purposes: • Advise the president on the state of the nation’s environment. • Create an advisory council called the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). The CEQ outlines NEPA compliance guidelines.

Education. 20-26 Role of the Environmental Protection Agency Until 1970, most federal agencies acted within their delegated authority without considering the environmental impacts of their actions. In 1970, the EPA was established by Congress to implement statutes. Administrative functions empower EPA, the states, and private citizens to take responsibility for enforcing the various authorized programs.

Education. 20-28 Command and Control Philosophy (1 of 3) To date, much environmental law has reflected the perception that environmental problems are localized in time, space, and media (air, water, and soil). Environmental regulation has focused on specific phenomena, and “command and control” solutions. • In this approach, highly specific legislation and regulation implemented by centralized authorities and are used to achieve narrowly defined ends.

Education. 20-29 Command and Control Philosophy (2 of 3) Large scale and complicated ecological policy problems such as reversing the decline of salmon, or the role of wild fire on public lands share several qualities: • Complexity – innumerable options and trade-offs • Polarization – clashes between competing values • Winners and losers – for each policy choice, some will clearly benefit, some will be harmed, and the consequences for the others is uncertain. • Delayed consequences – no immediate “fix” and the benefits, if any, will often not be evident for decades.

Education. 20-30 Command and Control Philosophy (3 of 3) National vs. regional conflict – national (or international) priorities often differ substantially from those at the local or regional level. Ambiguous role for science – science is often not pivotal in evaluating policy options, but science often ends up serving inappropriately as a surrogate for debates over values and preferences

Education. 20-32 20.4 The Greening of Geopolitics Environmental or “green” politics have moved into mainstream political arenas. A sense of urgency and common cause about the environment is leading to cooperation in some areas. Ecological degradation in any nation is now understood almost inevitably to impinge on quality of life in others.

Education. 20-34 International Aspects of Environmental Problems (2 of 3) In 2015, coal accounted for about 66 percent of China’s primary energy production. • Coal is expected to remain China’s main energy source for the foreseeable future. One of the biggest concerns regarding energy consumption in China focuses on carbon emissions and the threat of increasing global warming. • China is putting a large number of new coal-fired power plants on line every year. • China’s carbon emissions are expected to increase but they have pledged to stabilize their emissions by 2030.

Education. 20-36 International Aspects of Environmental Problems (3 of 3) Some developing countries may resist environmental action because they see a chance to improve their bargaining leverage with foreign aid donors and international bankers. Where before poor nations never had a strategic advantage, they now may have an ecological edge. Ecologically, there could be more parity than there ever was economically or militarily.

Education. 20-37 National Security Issues North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has developed an Office of Scientific and Environmental Affairs. U.S. Department of Defense has created an Office of Environmental Security. The most formidable obstacles may be entrenched economic and political interests of the world’s most advanced nations. Environmental effects such as drought can touch off political conflict.

Education. 20-38 The Role of the United Nations Most global organizations have not been able to achieve significant progress in reversing global environmental degradation. • Some fail because they are controlled by a disparate membership with competing interests who are unable to come to consensus on complex issues. • Others cannot address whole issues on their own.

Education. 20-39 International Coordination (1 of 3) Over 160 global environmental treaties negotiated since start of 20th century. At least 500 bilateral agreements in effect dealing with cross-border environmental issues. Successful efforts • 1961: Antarctic Treaty • 1979: Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution • 1987: Montreal Protocol

Education. 20-40 International Coordination (2 of 3) The objective of the Montreal Protocol was to phase out the manufacture and use of chemicals depleting the Earth’s protective ozone layer. • 160 countries are now parties, representing 95% of the Earth’s population. • Developing countries ended production of CFCs in 1999, and phase-out is scheduled for 2010. • By the late 1990s, the concentration of some CFCs in the atmosphere had started to decline, and predictions are that the ozone layer could recover by the middle of this century.

Education. 20-41 International Coordination (3 of 3) Among the many reasons for these achievements, three merit attention: 1. Global agreement on the nature and seriousness of the threat. 2. A cooperative approach, especially between developed and developing countries. 3. Policy based on expert and impartial advice.

Education. 20-42 Barriers to the Implementation of International Agreements There is no international legislature with authority to pass laws, nor are there international agencies with power to regulate resources on a global scale. An international court at the Hague in the Netherlands has no power to enforce decisions. However, a network is growing of multilateral environmental organizations that have developed a greater sense of their roles and a greater incentive to work together.

Education. 20-43 Earth Summit on Environment and Development In June 1992, representatives from 178 countries, including 115 heads of state, met in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at the Earth Summit. • It was the largest gathering of world leaders ever held. Major issues: • The developed countries of the North have grown accustomed to lifestyles that are consuming a disproportionate share of natural resources and generating the bulk of global pollution. • Many of the developing countries of the South are consuming irreplaceable global resources to provide for their growing populations. The Earth Summit was intended to promote better integration of nations’ environmental goals with their economic aspirations.

Education. 20-44 Environmental Policy and the European Union (1 of 2) “The environment knows no frontiers” was a slogan during the 1970s, when the EU began drafting its first environmental legislation. Early laws focused on testing and labeling dangerous chemicals, testing drinking water, and controlling air pollutants from power plants and automobiles. Many of the directives were linked to Europe’s desire to improve living and working conditions for citizens.

Education. 20-48 New International Instruments (3 of 3) Behind one example of new policy solutions is the concept of green consumerism, or the rational consumption of scarce resources for the benefit of the environment and future generations. • Ecolabels have been introduced in a number of countries to help consumers choose products with a proven environmental edge. • This is determined by the product’s choice of raw materials, production process, product life cycle, and associated disposal problems.

Education. 20-51 Summary The worldwide effects of the Trump administration on the environment are still to be determined. In the U.S., each of the three branches of government impacts environmental policy. The late 1980s and 1990s was a new international concern about the environment in both the developed and developing nations of the world. Environmentalism is seen as a growing factor in international relations. International treaties have been successful, but ultimately, it is up to the individual to act in an environmentally responsible manner.
