Description

Ubiquitous environmental pollution and how we regulate it is now a critical issue. A Regulatory Framework to Remediate the Planet: Strategies, Outcomes and Implications develops an optimized regulatory strategy to minimize human-generated environmental harms to Nature by the generation of multi-media pollution and postulates a means to use these same techniques “in reverse” to restore Nature's ecosystems.

The core strategy is exceptionally far reaching. It will, among its outcomes:

Reform key aspects of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Upon adapting this strategy to regulating the generation of solid waste pollution, facilitate the transition to a circular economy (CE).
When further generalized, holistically regulate the generation of multi-media environmental pollution, i.e., air, water, onsite generated waste and solid waste pollution.
Present a rigorous method to mitigate global climate change.
Use economic and ecological tools to systematically restore ecosystems.
Formulate the existence of a Grand Unified Theory of Environmental Law and Regulation.

These outcomes are only possible through the intelligent use of rigorous, limit-based regulation, employing the proper blend of command-and-control and market-based instruments, all rooted in an underlying regulatory structure applied to the generation of environmental pollution which can be holistically applied as a regulatory strategy across all environmental media.
