The precautionary principle is the principle taken into account by environmental policy. It states that if an action or policy has the potential to cause harm to the public or to the environment, in the absence of scientific consensus, the burden of proof falls on those who support the action or policy to demonstrate it is not harmful. This principle is used to guide decision-making in environmental policy to avoid or mitigate potential harm to the environment.
