ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the different types of policy response that are being used to address environmental issues, and tries to assess their success or failure. Quantitative assessment of the success or failure of policy initiatives and developments is not an easy task. Four questions need to be addressed:
Iii Have environmental problems been adequately addressed 'on paper'? ~~ Have these intentions been implemented? ~· Has implementation had positive effects on the
environment? Iii> Are these effects sufficient?
