Precautionary Principle: A principle requiring action to prevent environmental harm when there is scientific uncertainty about risks. It emphasizes proactive measures in the face of potential environmental threats, even if full scientific certainty is not established. This principle aims to avoid irreversible damage by acting early, prioritizing environmental protection over the absence of complete evidence.
Prevention Principle: The obligation to take early measures to avoid environmental damage when risks are known and scientifically proven. It involves implementing measures before harm occurs, based on established scientific knowledge, to prevent environmental degradation rather than responding after damage has taken place.
Polluter Pays Principle: The concept that those causing pollution must bear the costs of managing it to prevent damage to society. It assigns responsibility to polluters for the environmental harm they cause, ensuring they finance the prevention, control, and remediation of pollution, thereby internalizing environmental costs within economic activities.
