This research is a research that aims to identify and examine the application of authority related to environmental management in Way Kanan Regency and to find a model of good environmental supervision and management in the district by the Environment Agency in realizing good governance. The method used in this study is a normative-empirical research method using a statute approach and in-depth interviews. The findings of this study are that the implementation of the authority of the environmental services in the regions is not optimal so that environmental damage occurs and the model of environmental protection and management, waste and waste that uses the principles of good governance is optimal. It is hoped that future regulations related to the authority of the environmental services in the regions must have broad powers, covering aspects of planning, implementation, supervision and law enforcement. Its duties and functions must integrate the coordination and operational functions, and there is a clear arrangement of relations between institutions related to environmental management.

Modeling Methodology

In recent years, the idea of green growth has been widely discussed not only by experts in environmental economics, but also in various political forums. Many countries use various tools and principles of green growth in their national policies and growth strategies. However, some countries fear that the transition to a green growth model may hamper their development. The article discusses the prerequisites for implementation, the basic principles of green growth into the system of public administration, and also provides a system for modelling ways to implement the principles of green growth using the IDEF0 (functional modeling methodology and a graphical description of the processes) methodology. This methodology allows to clearly see the ways and means of achieving this goal. Considering the importance of the economic component in all processes of monitoring, control and protection of air, water and soil from pollution processes, a system for modeling ways to implement the principles of green growth using the IDEF0 methodology has been formed today is especially relevant.

A Value

This paper is focused on analyzing the characteristics of firms that have environmental performance beyond the requirements of regulation in environmental protection. To identify such characteristics, we propose a value and context model building on environmental paradigms as conceptualized by Dryzek’s environmental discourse theory. Using multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) to analyze data collected from a multi-respondent survey of Argentinean polluting firms, we identify distinctive characteristics of firms going beyond regulation and firms that do not comply with regulation. In particular, comparing with other five environmental discourses, endorsement of green growth is evaluated in its connection with compliance patterns. We find that supporting green growth discourse (also known as ecological modernization) is one of the characteristics of those firms that go beyond compliance in their environmental performance.

It represents the most recent in a series of laws that began with the Alkali Acts in the Nineteenth century. This legislation covers air, water, and soil pollution, and also covers the release of genetically modified organisms. The Act gave the Secretary of State power to prescribe substances subject to controls on their release into the environment. The Act was subsequently updated by the Environment Act 1995, which created the Environment Agency (England and Wales) (see ...

Investments in environmental protection are crucial for achieving the goals of building green economy. The purpose of the study is, firstly, to assess the state and trends of Ukrainian companies investments for environmental purposes; secondly, to identify the determinants of the impact on the volume of environmental protection investments; finally, to determine presence /absence of a link between environmental investments and financial performance of companies. The initial data for the study were obtained from published statistical reports for the period from 2010 till 2019. Methods of analysis for testing hypotheses are descriptive and correlation-regression ones. It was found out that the selected independent variables (belonging to environmentally damaging activities and revenue of the companies) are positively correlated with the volume of costs and investments in environmental protection of Ukrainian companies. However, for the independent variable “financial results” a negative correlation was obtained. The hypothesis of environmental investments positive impact on the financial profitability of companies has not been confirmed. Environmental policy in Ukraine concerning implementation of “green” growth strategy is defined as a reflective one due to a number of economic and political factors.
