Paper Summary

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act aim to protect the environment by guiding government actions. NEPA focuses on sustainability and requires federal agencies to consider environmental impacts. The EPBC Act in Australia is similar to NEPA and aims to conserve biodiversity. Both Acts play a crucial role in shaping environmental policy and promoting environmental protection worldwide.
