The goals of public policy are to increase "Human well-being and success.

"
Something that may improve the economy, enhance public health, reduce crime,
or mitigate the effects of climate change.
As well as promoting the common good. These are the set of actions, decisions,
and initiatives that governments wish to achieve.

Public policy administration is the process of creating, and managing public policy,
as well as analyzing the strategies and decisions involved. Public administration
also includes the management of public affairs, and the planning, organizing, and
coordination of government operations.

Policy analysis or public policy analysis is a technique used in the public

administration sub-field of political science to enable civil servants, nonprofit
organizations, and others to examine and evaluate the available options to
implement the goals of laws and elected officials.
It has been defined as the process of "determining which of various policies will
achieve a given set of goals in light of the relations between the policies and its
goals."
It means figuring out which rules or plans will help reach certain goals by looking
at how the rules relate to those goals.
Policy analysis can be divided into two major fields:
1. Analysis of existing policy, which is analytical and descriptive – it attempts
to explain policies and their development.

2. Analysis for new policy, which is prescriptive – meaning prescriptive things

have to do with giving rules or directions.
 it is involved with formulating policies and proposals (for example: to
improve social welfare)

Various approaches to policy analysis exist. The analysis for policy (and analysis of
policy) is the central approach in social science and educational policy studies. It is
linked to two different traditions of policy analysis and research frameworks.

policy formulation is the stage before policy-making.

involves identifying and/or creating a set of policy alternatives to address a

problem and reduce the number of possible solutions involved in preparing the
final policy decision.

Policy formulation refers to how problems identified in the agenda-setting phase

transform into government programs. As the process of designing policy
alternatives expresses and allocates power among different interests, policy
formulation affects both implementation and outcomes.

-
Policy adoption, when we say adopt it means to accept or approve. Think about
the usual adoption process. We Inquire, we apply, etc.

Basically, the same goes for a law, it is the process of passing a new policy into
effect by relevant government institutions. It is put into their responsibility as it
may.
 It's often the final stage in the policy-making process, and is usually marked by
the enactment of legislation or the issuance of executive orders.
Policy adoption is considered the final stage in the policy-making process because
it's when a new policy is agreed upon and passed by the relevant government
institutions.
-
Policy implementation, key word implement.
is the process of putting a policy into action to achieve its goals. It's a
collaborative process that involves many actors, organizations, and techniques,
and is influenced by many factors.
Implementing policies effectively is crucial for their success and achieving desired
outcomes.
involves translating policy objectives into concrete actions and putting them into
practice and navigating various challenges and capitalizing on factors that
contribute to successful implementation.
-
Policy evaluation is the process of objectively and systematically examining the
impact of a policy or program on its intended goals. It involves assessing whether
the policy is achieving its objectives and identifying any obstacles.

Their differences?
Policy analysis
A systematic study of policy alternatives to address public issues. Policy analysis is
usually done before policy formulation to provide information for decision-
makers.

Policy formulation
The process of developing proposed courses of action to address public problems.
Policy adoption
The process of gaining support for a policy proposal so that it can be authorized
or legitimized.

Policy implementation
The process of putting a policy into action. This can involve spending money,
hiring new staff, or taking other actions.
Why it's important
Policy implementation is important because it affects how policies are accepted

Policy evaluation
The process of determining if a policy has been effective. This can involve
reporting on the outputs of government programs and evaluating the impact of
the policy on target groups.

Social policy is concerned with the ways societies across the world meet human
needs for security, education, work, health and wellbeing. Social policy addresses
how states and societies respond to global challenges of social, demographic and
economic change, and of poverty, migration and globalisation.
Examples of social policies include raising the minimum wage, reforming marriage
law, and mandating a minimum school leaving age of 16 years of age.
Social policy is a form of government intervention that aims to improve the lives
of people by addressing social and economic needs. Examples of social policy
include:
1. Welfare initiatives: Such as food stamps
2. Unemployment benefits: Including unemployment insurance
 3. Housing support: Including affordable housing initiatives
4. Healthcare benefits: Including healthcare reform
5. Family assistance programs: Including child protection and family policy
6. Education policy: Including education and social mobility
7. Antidiscrimination law: Including equal opportunity employment law
8. Minimum living wages: Including raising the minimum wage in areas with a
higher cost of living
Social policy can also address issues such as:
poverty reduction, social security, justice, living conditions, animal rights,
pensions, social exclusion, crime and criminal justice, urban development, and
labor issues.
Social policy can be difficult to implement and evaluate because it requires:
Changes in laws, Special monitoring procedures, and Expensive resources.

Economic policy is a set of strategies that governments use to manage an

economy, while public administration is a key part of the government's planning
process. An effective public administration is important for a country's growth
and development, as it provides a platform for businesses and ensures quality
services for citizens.
Economic policy includes:
Fiscal policy: Managing government spending and revenues
Monetary policy: Controlling the money supply and interest rates
Structural reform: Improving long-term economic efficiency and competitiveness
Regulatory reform: Updating and streamlining economic regulations
Taxation: Setting tax rates
Government budgets: Allocating government funds
Job creation: Creating jobs
Public administration is a key part of the government's planning process, which
also includes economic policies and strategies. An effective public administration
can help a country: Develop businesses, Provide quality services to citizens,
Attract investment, and Transform political guidelines into reality.

Environmental policy is a framework of guidelines and laws that define how to
balance development and conservation interests while addressing environmental
issues. It can be created by governments, organizations, or other public or private
entities.
Yes, environmental protection is a key part of the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs):

Environmental protection is directly linked to several SDGs, including:
SDG 13 (Climate Action)
SDG 14 (Life Below Water)
SDG 15 (Life on Land)
SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being)
SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation)
SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy)
SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production)
The SDGs are a call to action
The SDGs are a call for all countries to promote prosperity while protecting the
planet.
The SDGs are integrated
The SDGs recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others.
The SDGs were adopted in 2015
The SDGs were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development

1. Environmental policies can address a range of issues, including:

2. Air and water pollution
3. Waste management
4. Ecosystem management
5. Biodiversity maintenance
6. Natural resource management
7. Wildlife and endangered species
8. Climate change
9. Energy regulation
10.Toxic substance regulation
Environmental policies are important because they can help prevent or reduce
the negative effects of human activities on the environment. Such as pollution,
deforestation, hunting for sport, etc.
However, some say that environmental policy-making is currently too focused on
the government and doesn't give enough consideration to local communities.
