National environmental policy planning in OECD countries: Preliminary lessons from cross‐national comparisons

Partnerships for environmental technology development in the shipping industry: two Danish case studies

“…In other words, a strategy for sustainable development requires new forms of societal efforts; this will not be realistic within the traditional public environmental regulations as known in the 1970s and 1980s (Jänicke and Jörgens, 1998). During the 1980s and 1990s in land-based industries, public environmental regulations were increasingly supplemented with self-regulation and market-based regulation.…”

Successes and Shortcomings in the Implementation of National Sustainable Development Strategies: From the Greening of Governance to the Governance of Greening

“…But, given that "a strategy for sustainable development requires an enormous societal effort which will not be feasible within the traditional technocratic, instrumentalist, top-down pattern of public policy", an NSDS may be the specific tool necessary to introduce a new policymaking paradigm required (Jänicke & Jörgens, 1998) The paradigm of sustainable development is likely to require an alteration of society's general conception of the environment, current development trajectories, and policymaking structures. However, at present, the passage of sustainable development policies generally follows the traditional pattern of policymaking.…”

Shaping tomorrow’s urban environment today : Environmental Policy Integration in urban planning: the challenges of a communicative approach

“…These measures included legislation, incentive programmes, environmental impact assessments (EIAs), and multilateral conventions to reduce pollution and other environmental threats (Alker & Haas, 1993;Jänicke & Jörgens, 1998). In most countries, land-use planning and environmental regulations and instruments have co-existed in an attempt to develop more attractive and environmentally friendly urban areas.…”

“…The scientific, socio-economic and political developments of the post-war period generated new conceptions of this issue, in terms of both ideology and science. Since the early nineties, there have been numerous statements in the subject, which refer to reports, studies and other documents by international organizations such as the United Nations (WCED, 1987), the EU (Commission of the European Communities, 1999Communities, , 2006, and the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (Jänicke & Jörgens, 1998). The new dogma is the need to secure the sustainability of development, which is based on the fundamental ecological principles of solidarity between generations and resources renewal (Commission of the European Communities, 1999).…”

“…Based on the new sustainability principle, in the 90s a more integrated approach to national environmental policy has emerged together with the initiation of the urban sustainable development plans (Jänicke & Jörgens, 1998;Conroy & Berke, 2004). These plans were founded upon the idea that the combination of urban development objectives that include both land-use planning and environmental planning is a more effective strategy for improving the quality of life in urban areas and conserving natural resources (Commission of the European Communities, 1990Communities, , 1996Coenen, 1999;Miller & De Roo, 1999;Wellbank, 2002;Commission of the European Communities, 2004;Conroy & Berke, 2004).…”
