Environment Policy
Environmental Policy
The Netherlands has a high population density. Its economic activities and leisure activities are extensive and expanding so, not surprisingly, the quality of its environment is facing serious threats. The Netherlands government, along with the general public and the business community, are therefore looking for ways to attain sustainable development. A recent principle of the Dutch government is to spend more money on environmental protection in order to compensate the negative effect of ungoing economic growth. The environmental policy of the Netherlands currently addresses the following themes: Information and communication play an important role alongside legislation and financial incentives in changing people’s attitude and behavior. The purpose of communication is often to aid consultation, to create public support and/or to promote participation. Further information can be found on the Environmental site of the website of the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment.
