Ballotpedia's encyclopedic coverage of public policy includes information on state budgets, civil liberties, education, elections, energy, the environment, healthcare and pensions in all 50 states. Welcome to the Environmental Policy Project, where you will find information about major environmental policy areas at the federal, state and local levels. Environmental policy profoundly affects many aspects of citizens’ lives. Citizens will be able to decide which environmental policies are most aligned with their interests, and make more informed decisions about which candidates and initiatives they support.

Environmental issues are harmful effects of human activity on the biophysical environment. Environmental protection is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organizational or governmental levels, for the benefit of both the environment and humans. Environmentalism, a social and environmental movement, addresses environmental issues through advocacy, education and activism. The carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere has already exceeded 400 parts per million (NOAA) (with total "long-term" GHG exceeding 455 parts per million) (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report). This level is considered a tipping point. "The amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is already above the threshold that can potentially cause dangerous climate change. We are already at risk of many areas of pollution...It's not next year or next decade, it's now." The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has stated "Climate change is not just a distant future threat. It is the main driver behind rising humanitarian needs and we are seeing its impact. The number of people affected and the damages inflicted by extreme weather has been unprecedented."
