green legislation
Eco-friendly policy making
Green legislation refers to laws and regulations aimed at protecting the environment—reducing pollution, conserving resources, or addressing climate change.
The term encompasses everything from emissions standards to recycling mandates: The committee blocked the green legislation on carbon caps.
Sometimes used dismissively by critics who view such measures as economically burdensome.
