Rosemarie Szostak, Department of the Army, Army Environmental Policy Institute This question is for Brian, who had talked about government mandates as opposed to proactive behavior. We work under government mandate, not a proactive policy, although proactive would be nice. How would you envision implementing a proactive policy for carbon management that would be amenable to both the government and the general public ... 

From our experience, further refinement to establish a suitable minimum under the three topics above appears best accomplished by doctoral faculty committees selected for the Individual, considering Individual needs. The basic body of knowledge might be conceived as an understanding of the environment, Its characteristics and processes, a knowledge of environment-related technology, an ability to use quantitative analytical techniques, and an appreciation for the social and Institutional framework of environmental policy.

Professor Jenkins-Smith has written books on the public policy process and policy analysis and has served on a number of committees for the National Research Council. 

Since pollution prevention first entered the environmental lexicon in the 1980s, it has become a touchstone of U.S. environmental policy. To succeed, pollution prevention programs need sustained top management support and defined links to the company s core business activities. Equally important, the values represented in the program must fit with the academic institution, company, or individual s existing values. For example, syntheses that minimize wastes are environmentally Mendly and may provide quality improvements and cost and energy savings. Environmental consciousness should be incorporated early into chemical research (Lnnt and Bowen, 1996).

I was unaware of these developments until I received a telephone call on July 20,1992, from Dr. Justin Lancaster at the Environmental Science and Policy Institute, Harvard University, who introduced himself as a former associate of Dr. Revelle. In our conversation, Lancaster first requested and then demanded that I remove Revelle s name from the article to be reprinted in the Geyer volume. I was taken aback by such an unusual request and asked Lancaster to write me a letter, which he did on the same day. I replied, saying that I could not remove Revelle s name since he was a coauthor and could not give his permission as he had died. In any case the copyright for the article resided with the Cosmos journal.

As the results of a June 2003 survey by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) suggest, most Californians know that motor vehicle exhausts are a threat to their health, and they are prepared to do something about it (Public Policy Institute of California, 2003). Fifty-eight percent of Californians surveyed believe that air pollution is a serious health threat to them and their immediate family, and 37 percent say they or a family member suffers from asthma or other respiratory problems. Accordingly, 30 percent of state residents rate air pollution as the most important environmental issue, followed distantly by water pollution with 10 percent, or growth and sprawl with 7 percent. 

Transportation oil use poses perhaps one of the most daunting challenges for energy and environmental policy. Reasons for the difficulty include the uniqueness of the petroleum resource, the emotional value of the automobile, and the magnitude of the global institutions that have grown from and robustly sustain the symbiosis between oil and the automobile.

Emissions trading is a radical innovation in environmental policy in Spain, whose introduction was fraught with difficulties. Institutional path dependence theory (see Woerdman 2004) provides useful insights to interpret decisions, choices and conflicts when institutional rigidities exist. On the other hand, a public choice approach is useful for analysing the interaction between the public administration and other actors in the allocation process and some specific choices made (see Schneider and Volkert 1999 Svendsen 2000 del Rio 2006).

At the national level, the General Monitoring Network of air quality (GMN), established in 1985, is the largest one. It is subordinated to the SSI and operated by its provincial (or local) branches. Its main purpose is to supply information on population exposure to air pollutants for the needs of the National Health Programme. Data are also used for environmental policy purposes. Stations belonging to the network are also a part of lower level monitoring systems - the collected data are used both at the local and voivodship level. In 1997 the network consisted of 506 stations, located in cities above 20 thousand inhabitants and in health resorts. The basic monitored pollutants are SO2, NO2, black smoke and TSP. In total, 37 pollutants (from 1 to 19 compounds at each station) were monitored in 1997. Almost exclusively manual 24-hr measurements are carried out at the stations. The network is supervised by the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine (since 1992 till 1999), which is responsible for QA/QC, data collection, assessment and reporting.
