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.

The question of whether lobbying should be illegal in the political system is a complex and debated issue. Some argue that lobbying allows for diverse perspectives to be heard and can help shape policy decisions. Others believe that lobbying can lead to corruption and favoritism. Ultimately, the decision on whether lobbying should be illegal would depend on the specific regulations and oversight in place to ensure transparency and accountability in the political process.
The environmental policy process typically begins with problem identification, where specific environmental issues are recognized and defined. Next, agenda-setting occurs, prioritizing these issues for governmental or organizational action. This is followed by policy formulation, where potential solutions and strategies are developed. Finally, the process culminates in policy implementation and evaluation, assessing the effectiveness of the enacted policies and making necessary adjustments.
