The question of how to pay for and sustain pollution prevention and ecosystem protection is a central concern for the EPA. The Agency's Environmental Finance Program seeks to lower costs, increase investment, and build capacity by creating partnerships with state and local governments and the private sector to fund environmental needs. Drawing on the expertise of the Environmental Financial Advisory Board, The Environmental Financing Information Network and the university-based Environmental Finance Centers, the Environmental Finance Program provides financial technical assistance, guidance, news and advice to enable practitioners in the public and private sector find the appropriate methods to fund and sustain environmental protection efforts.
