Better regulation for the green transition
Climate change and other environmental threats require urgent government action. This
policy paper discusses how governments can use better regulation instruments (good
regulatory practices, risk-based and agile approaches, regulatory delivery, international
regulatory cooperation, economic regulators, and behavioural insights) to design,
implement and evaluate efficient and effective regulations for the environment. It
explores the challenges governments face and presents good practices for environmental
and other regulations, to ensure that all policy instruments coherently pursue environmental
goals. Finally, the paper suggests how regulatory policy systems can meet present
and future environmental challenges. It argues that to fully exploit the potential
of better regulation for the environment, governments should implement measures that
ensure an inclusive, cooperative, outcome-based and global approach to regulating.
