PUBLIC POLICY

We hear a lot of people talk about public policy, whether it’s in conversations surrounding politics, climate change, health, or other topics. However, have you ever really stopped and asked what is it and why it matters?

Even if you don’t consider yourself politically involved, public policy isn’t something that should be overlooked or dismissed. In fact, public policy plays a big role in your own day-to-day personal and professional life. So, what is public policy why is it important?

Essentially, public policy is a set of laws, guidelines, and actions decided and taken by governments in order to work in favor of the public. Public policy can dictate things such as: which laws are passed, where funding goes, and which topics concern the general public.

Public policy plays a crucial role in forming the guidelines and principles of a society, so they’re a necessary part of governing and politics.
