Why science matters for env policy
Science is the first driver of env policy (CO2, ozone, mercury)
Env processes & interactions are
highly complex & need to be understood
Sound evidence required in IA and to back our claims
& actions
To ensure effectiveness &
implementability of legislation
The judicial system requires evidence
To monitor progress towards meeting policy objectives
