Abstract
The following thesis undertakes a comparative analysis of the United States and European Union’s institutions in place for the decision making process concerning environmental policy, as well as certain policies that have come out of this process (most specifically those concerning vehicle emissions). Several concerns over the environment have come about in the last few years, and the problem of pollution is one that must be addressed. I will examine how the EU and US are dealing with these concerns about the state of the environment, as well as the processes that are involved in creating legislation to tackle the situation. It has been found that while the United States is making an effort to alleviate the problem of vehicle emissions, the European Union is far surpassing the US in its efforts. I will explain in more detail the causes behind this situation, as well as discuss reasons why the European Union is making such advances against pollution.
