Description
Environmental tools are mechanisms to meet environmental objectives and outcomes and to encourage environmentally-desirable behaviour. This set of fact sheets, collectively known as the Environmental Tools Guide, has been developed as a resource for policy makers to encourage a greater understanding of the range of tools available to both government and stakeholders. The tools are organized into five broad categories: voluntary stewardship/corporate environmental responsibility; information disclosure; cooperative agreements; market-based and fiscal tools; and regulations.
