The increasingly complex nature and global breadth of  today&#8217;s environmental challenges, however, exposes logical limits of  that traditional model. The frontier of engagement with these challenges  must be both broadened and deepened well beyond the capacity of that  traditional governmental focus. What will be needed, ironically, is to  re-frame the roles and expectations of industry and the larger civil  society within environmental governance \u2013 to effectively harness their  extra-national character and capabilities and to enlist and lead them in  driving toward sustainability across the broad range of societal actors  globally.<\/p>\n<p>Such  a transition is already evolving, but will take vision and leadership  at this crucial time to leverage and extend it. A preemptory focus on  traditional government regulatory control will fail to harness these  hugely important forces and in so doing will effectively stifle  necessary efforts to extend environmental protection and sustainability  deeper into the technical, economic and consumer decision-making that is  shaping our future around the Globe.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tom Jacob This paper makes the case that the traditional model of environmental governance is one dominated by regulatory control at the level of the nation state.
