This book explores the effectiveness of voluntary environmental programs (VEPs): initiatives designed and managed by social actors to motivate participants to achieve environmental goals beyond legal requirements.

Contrasting the approaches taken in the United States and China, Pianpian Wang explores VEPs and their role in environmental sustainability, addressing gaps in existing research that primarily focus on government-led initiatives. Wang delves into the motivations behind these voluntary commitments and highlights the role of various social actors, including businesses, civil society organizations (CSOs), and government agencies. By examining the interactions between program organizers, participants, and supervisors under existing legal requirements, the research offers insights into effective environmental governance strategies and provides a broader perspective on how different societal settings influence the success of these programs and inform future legislations.

Voluntary Environmental Programs in the United States and China offers valuable insights for policymakers, businesses, and researchers interested in environmental management and sustainability.

Pianpian Wang is an admitted Chinese lawyer holding a master’s degree from Sun Yat-sen University, China and a doctorate in environmental law (SJD) from Pace University School of Law, USA. She was a visiting scholar at Vermont Law School in the United States in 2012 and has been affiliated with the Pace Energy and Climate Center since 2013. She has also been a member of IUCN World Commission on Environmental Law since 2020.
