Summary
This opinion piece, published in 2018, appears to propose a framework for how the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency might use regulatory instruments more strategically to drive innovation in environmental practice. As suggested by the title, the author (David M. Hart) advocates for a regulatory approach that goes beyond traditional compliance enforcement. Without access to the full text, the specific mechanisms or evidence presented remain unclear.
UK applicability
The findings may have limited direct applicability to UK regulatory governance, which operates under a distinct legislative and institutional framework. However, comparative policy discussions on innovation-driven regulation could inform UK environmental governance approaches, particularly post-Brexit environmental policy design.
