Summary

This final report of the Enterprise for the Environment breaks new ground in the ongoing environmental debate. The culmination of two years of work by a bipartisan and consensus-building group that includes former EPA administrators, members of Congress from both sides of the aisle, governors, mayors, state regulators, environmental groups, and representatives of U.S. business, the report argues persuasively that the environmental protection (1) should become more performance based, information rich, flexible, and accountable; (2) make greater use of economic incentives; and (3) should be bolstered with strong stewardship by the private sector. The report concludes that the United States needs such a system to confront and manage tough environmental issues in a less polarized and more reasonable manner. This important consensus document will be of interest to all concerned with the protection of our environment. The Environmental Protection System in Transition is published by CSIS in cooperation with the Keystone Center and the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), all three of which organizations provided support for the Enterprise for the Environment.
