Abstract

Environmental Policy Integration has been advocated as a keystone policy approach for achieving sustainable developments ever since the publication of the WCED report (1987) which placed sustainable development on the global agenda. The logic behind policy integration is that environmental damage is caused by non-environmental policy sectors which undermines environmental policy goals. Therefore, administrative strategies and approaches need to be developed to place environmental considerations at the heart of policy making processes across policy sectors to achieve more sustainable governance. This chapter unpacks the relationship between sustainable development and (environmental) policy integration and important conceptual understandings. It then explores the different strategies that can and have been deployed in different administrations before exploring future research directions.
