Controlling environmental pollution is extremely difficult, particularly in areas with high pollution levels. Air, land, rivers, and the sea can all contribute to pollution. In general, different nations will employ various technologies or approaches to control pollution. Since the United Nation emphasize on sustainability toward the environment, many countries now focus on the sustainability of pollution management and use the green technology. This research evaluates the Libyan local authorities on managing the environmental pollution. The evaluation is based on five independent variables, which are institutional capacity, regulatory enforcement, inter-agency coordination, training programs, and community engagement. The dependent variable under the influences of five independent variables is pollution management effectiveness. A questionnaire will be designed based on the five independent variables to assess the pollution management effectiveness. A total of 350 sample sizes of data will be collected and analyzed using statistical methods. Descriptive analysis, correlation, and multiple regressions, are used to analyze the data. The end of the research found that training program or frequency training is a main factor that influences the pollution management effectiveness.
Keywords: Environmental pollution, local authorities, Libya, regulatory enforcement, institutional capacity.
