Since the Congressional Declaration of National Environmental Policy in 1969, the United States has been legislating how environmental policy will be established and implemented. These legislative policies have evolved into a comprehensive list of protections for public health.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed The 2009-2014 EPA Strategic Plan. This landmark plan targets the following areas for improvement and action:

  • Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
  • Sustainable agriculture
  • Impacts of global climate change
  • Contaminants
  • Import safety
  • Improving program implementation in Indian country
  • Enforcement/compliance measurement approach
  • Research strategic directions and targets
  • Environmental indicators, monitoring, and related information

There are numerous international, national, state/territorial, and local agencies charged with ensuring environmental policy is enforced. These agencies include:

  • US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
  • National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
  • Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)
  • National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
  • European Union (EU) and European Environment Agency (EEA)
