Meaning of Enlibra (Initiative)

Enlibra (Initiative) A set of environmental policy principles prepared by the Western Governors’ Association (WGA) that symbolizes balance and stewardship as a means for reconciling economic development with sustaining natural resources. The doctrine speaks to greater participation and collaboration by citizens in resources decision making and promotes the use of market forces as tools to achieve resource conservation goals. A goal of Enlibra is to encourage people on all sides of resources issues to respect different values and to give affected parties a role in designing and implementing solutions. Principles and characteristics of the doctrine include: 1 Greater participation and collaboration in decision making by citizens who believe natural resources can be protected while still using them, 2 Focusing on results and not on programs, 3 Using tools other than regulations to protect and improve resources management and environmental quality, 4 Allowing local solutions for meeting national standards, 5 Replacing confrontation with collaboration, 6 Using science instead of subjectivity for policy making, 7 Using cost-effective means for achieving benefits, 8 Managing resources according to natural boundaries, not political or administrative ones.
