Greening Industry

Greening Industry reports on the growing number of developing countries that are significantly cutting industrial pollution by using the combined power of local communities, stock markets, and the news media to police air and water discharges from private companies. This new community-based approach is proving more effective in curbing pollution than relying on traditional approaches to environmental regulation. Greening Industry is an online report from the World Bank and is part of the organization’s larger Internet site, New Ideas in Pollution Regulation, which serves researchers, government officials, and citizens interested in understanding and improving industrial pollution, especially in developing countries.
