Environmental NGOs contribute to the regulatory space in a variety of ways. They
can be involved in shaping the rules of regulation by participating in both the
drafting of law and policy frameworks within which regulation is developed and,
more directly, in the setting of environmental standards
Environmental NGOs have a clear role to play in enforcing those rules both formally
(by bringing private prosecutions) and informally (through the use of ‘naming and
shaming’ strategies) And, perhaps most controversially, NGOs can be formally co-opted
by the state as regulatory surrogates
Their role in regulation is both important and valuable. In this lecture, Professor Abbot will focus on
larger, professional, centralised and well-resourced environmental NGOs and
reflect upon the factors that constrain and enhance their involvement in
environmental regulation
