Environmental Financial Advisory Board. Incentives for Environmental Investment:Changing Behavior and Building Capital

摘要

The purpose of this, the Board's first Advisory, is to evaluate the merits ofeconomic and market-based incentives to finance environmental improvements. Each strategy considered in this Advisory is based on the recognition of a diminishing federal role in the direct funding of environmental facilities and an increasing reliance on market mechanisms to achieve environmental goals. Whether and to what extent these strategies are approriate from EPA's perspective remains strictly a matter of Administration policy.
