During which part of the environmental policy process is lobbying used?

Lobbying is primarily used during the agenda-setting and policy formulation stages of the environmental policy process. Advocacy groups, industry representatives, and other stakeholders engage with policymakers to influence which environmental issues are prioritized and how potential policies are shaped. By providing information, resources, and persuasive arguments, lobbyists aim to sway decision-makers and ensure their interests are considered in the development of environmental regulations and legislation.
