Environmental Performance Reviews: Poland (2003)
Poland has made remarkable environmental progress, meeting most of its environmental targets and decoupling some environmental pressures from economic growth over the past decade as it worked toward European Union accession. Nevertheless, the road to environmental convergence within the EU will be a long one - priority issues include: pollution prevention, waste water treatment, waste management, biodiversity and landscape conservation, and climate protection.
The OECD Environmental Review of Poland makes 46 recommendations, including those that encourage the integration of environmental concerns into economic policies (e.g. improving price signals, removing subsidies, fiscal reforms) and progress towards its international environmental commitments.
