Environmental values and concerns are meant to be reflected through
environmental policy, which is then integrated into mainstream
economic and social policy and serves to govern society and the
economy. Yet effective environmental policy integration (EPI) has
proven to be very difficult in actual practice and it remains
largely an elusive aspiration. This is particularly the case in
core economic sectors such as energy and agriculture, which have
enormous environmental impacts but are also sectors in which other
priorities typically override environmental concerns in policy
creation. This groundbreaking volume presents the first ever
detailed examination of EPI at the national policy level, focusing
on the key sectors of energy and agriculture within Sweden, a
country that is widely recognized as a leader in Europe and
worldwide. In doing so, the authors unpack EPI, look at what it
means in policy formation and examine how environmental priorities
are treated in relation to other political priorities.The final
section of the book lays out the major findings and presents key
lessons for international application including institutional
recommendations on how to enhance the potential for EPI. Most
fundamentally, the book answers the questions of what works and why
for EPI, and how it can be achieved in practice across sectors. The
result is a rich and indispensable guide for all those involved in
policy formation in governments, NGOs and business and industry as
well as environmental management professionals, and researchers and
higher level students studying environmental policy.
