Environmental issues are the outcomes of improper/inefficient interactions between the people and environmental resources. Environmental governance is the totality of interactions among societal actors aiming to coordinate, guide and regulate human access to, use of, and impacts on the environment, through collectively binding decisions. Environmental governance cuts across a wide range of areas including environmental protection, landscape planning, sustainable use and conservation of natural resources, and the protection of human health, and operates across local (community projects) to regional scale.

 

In addition to the public sector, various actors, such as private sector, NGOs and civil societies, international/multi-lateral/financial organizations are heavily involved working with society and environment and thus have important role in environmental governance.
