Brief analysis of policy instruments of Brazilian environmental management

This study describes the main Brazilian environmental policy instruments, discussing the main points that facilitate or hamper their effectiveness. For this, we carried search out a qualitative exploratory. The main flaw of the effectiveness of these instruments of environmental policy in Brazil is the lack of a clear understanding of the environmental policy, of its benefits and results in different levels of environmental management. For the effectiveness of environmental legislation, through the use of instruments of the National Environmental Policy, is needed more than just a process of standardization of command and control. Other public policies are essential, as awareness of educational policies with investments in aspects related to sustainability, to changing consumer habits and lifestyle.
