| description |
A number of countries around the world
have in recent years implemented environmental performance
rating and public disclosure programs, and, where evidence
is available, these programs have been shown to induce
pollution reduction. Based on previous research and
practical experiences from several Asian countries, this
paper provides a systematic review and discussion of the
practical issues involved in designing and implementing
environmental performance rating and public disclosure
programs, including the legal and institutional framework,
scope and coverage determination, performance rating
methodology, data collection and verification, disclosure
strategy, credibility assurance, program set-up and
expansion, etc. The authors offer comments and
recommendations, where appropriate, for environmental
regulators to tackle these practical issues. The reviews and
discussions are intended to be concise, simple, and
systematic, and alternative options are discussed in a
succinct manner, so that they can be readily used by
interested environmental regulators and researchers. |
