environmental reform

Green policy changes

Environmental reform refers to changes in policy, law, or practice aimed at protecting natural resources and reducing ecological harm.

The term typically describes governmental or institutional efforts: The new administration promised sweeping environmental reform.

Reform implies working within existing systems rather than radical transformation—updating regulations, strengthening enforcement, or shifting economic incentives toward sustainability.
