Closely related to environmental policy positions are environmental law jobs, and it is often the case that policy specialists and consultants also function as environmental lawyers. Environmental policy jobs revolve around government and business policy towards environmental concerns and such policy is generally defined as a course of action specifically taken to prevent or reduce the harmful effects of man-made changes on the environmental and natural resources. Mitigation is often the goal of environmental policy, and the instruments by which policy is effected include economic incentives, market instruments, fees and tradable permits, to name just a few. There are also voluntary programs, though the failure of markets to ensure environmentally-friendly practices is often viewed as the catalyst for stricter government environmental policy. Specific areas that environmental policy often focuses on include air quality, management and treatment of wastewater and sewerage, water quality, natural resources management, over-harvesting concerns, and a wide variety of others. There are many private companies and government agencies engaged in environmental policy making, ranging from environmental and political consulting groups, the U.S> Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and environmental lobbying firms.
