A fresh approach to pollution management is advocated in a new World Bank Group Sourcebook launched today. It shifts the focus from primarily using public regulatory instruments towards greater acknowledgment of the role of multiple stakeholders in tackling pollution. By using their own policy tools, for their own reasons – the government, private sector, financial intermediaries, judiciary, and citizens – can help strengthen local and national pollution management systems.
Getting to Green – A Sourcebook of Pollution Management Policy Tools for Growth and Competitiveness (the Sourcebook) builds upon and broadens the scope of the policy advice in The Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook: Towards Cleaner Production (PPAH), a World Bank publication which has served as a vital reference source for policy and technical guidance for policymakers and development practitioners.
