RIBEIRO, Flávio de Miranda    KRUGLIANSKAS, Isak. Critical aspects of the transition to a sustainability driven environmental regulatory model: a taxonomy proposition. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. []. 2011, 4, spe, pp.122-130. ISSN 1983-8220.

Among the socioenvironmental researchers, it is recognized that the solution to environmental problems relies on government policies, which should correct market distortions and promote progress towards sustainability by means of a regulatory reform. This, however, has not been studied and implemented in a systematic way, especially in developing countries. The present article aims to contribute to this discussion, establishing a taxonomy of the main aspects of this transition as described by the international literature. Using literature review as methodology, the main arguments have been selected and arranged in a taxonomy consisting of 33 categories of action (regulation "objectives"), which were grouped into six transition "aspects". In the end, a brief discussion is held, and conclusions are made in order to contribute to future studies on how these aspects have been practiced in Brazil.
