Scope of Environmental
Management
5
Natural
Resource
Management
• Focuses on the sustainable use of resources such
as water, soil, forests, fisheries, minerals, and
energy.
• The goal is to prevent overexploitation and
degradation, ensuring that resources remain
available for future generations.
6
Pollution
Control and
Prevention
• Involves reducing emissions and waste that
contaminate air, water, and soil.
• Includes developing cleaner technologies,
enforcing emission standards, and promoting
eco-friendly products.
7
Waste
Management
• Concerned with the collection, segregation,
treatment, recycling, and safe disposal of solid and
hazardous waste.
• Promotes the “3Rs” (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) to
minimize environmental impact.
8
Biodiversity
and
Ecosystem
Protection
• Ensures the conservation of species, habitats, and
ecosystems.
• Protects endangered species and maintains
ecological balance.
9
Environmental
Policy, Law, and
Governance
• Refers to the creation and enforcement of rules,
laws, and international treaties that safeguard the
environment.
• Encourages compliance and accountability from
individuals, businesses, and governments.
10
Climate Change
Mitigation and
Adaptation
• Mitigation reduces greenhouse gas emissions (e.g.,
renewable energy use).
• Adaptation involves preparing communities for the
impacts of climate change (e.g., flood control systems).
11
Sustainable
Development
and Urban
Planning
• Integrates environmental concerns into economic
growth and infrastructure planning.
• Aims to balance development with conservation,
ensuring eco-friendly cities and communities.
12
Environmental
Education and
Advocacy
• Raises awareness and builds environmental
responsibility among citizens.
• Encourages participation in environmental
protection and sustainable practices.
13
Impact
Assessment and
Risk
Management
• Uses tools like Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)
and audits to evaluate potential effects of projects.
• Helps decision-makers avoid harmful environmental
consequences.
14
International
Cooperation
• Deals with global environmental challenges that
cross borders, like climate change and pollution.
• Encourages nations to collaborate on solutions.
Scope of Environmental
Management Systems (EMS) –
Explanation
16
Environmental
Policy
Formulation
• Organizations establish their vision, mission, and
commitment to environmental sustainability.
• This serves as the guiding principle for their
actions.
17
Planning
(Aspects, Laws,
Objectives)
• Identifying environmental aspects of operations
(e.g., emissions, water use).
• Ensuring compliance with laws and setting
measurable goals for improvement.
18
Implementation
and Operation
• Putting plans into action by assigning
responsibilities, providing staff training, and
integrating eco-friendly practices.
19
Monitoring and
Evaluation
• Measuring environmental performance using
indicators like energy use, waste levels, or emissions.
• Ensures compliance with standards and identifies
areas for improvement.
20
Corrective Action
and Continuous
Improvement
• Identifying weaknesses and taking corrective
steps to improve.
• Emphasizes innovation and ongoing sustainability
efforts.
21
