Environmental Governance and the Main Aspects of Governance
Environmental governance refers to the formal and informal processes, structures,
institutions, and mechanisms that regulate how human activities impact the environment. It
is a core element of sustainable development and environmental protection, as it seeks to
manage the use of natural resources in a way that is fair, effective, and responsible. This
form of governance ensures that multiple stakeholders—including the state, private sector,
civil society, and local communities—participate in shaping environmental outcomes. The
concept extends beyond governmental control to include a collaborative approach where
decision-making is shared among various actors to achieve common environmental goals.
Environmental governance can be broadly defined as the collection of rules, practices,
policies, and institutions that shape how humans interact with the environment.1 These
interactions encompass the management of natural resources, biodiversity conservation,
pollution control, and sustainable land use planning.
