Environmental Finance
Countries in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia region (EECCA) currently are at an environmental crossroad: the current environmental situation is dire, and challenges are mounting, but there are also new opportunities.
In this perspective, environmental finance is one priority area. Environment departments need to improve their performance in investment planning and financial management in order to make the best use of available public funds and to be able to leverage additional resources from donors, IFIs and the private sector. More skills and incentives are needed at both national and local levels to mobilize additional financing for environmental purposes.
Based on the work done under the auspices of the EAP Task Force, the book provides a comprehensive and consistent picture of domestic and foreign sources of finance for the environment in EECCA (including Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation and Ukraine), and explores policy recommendations on how to make the best possible use of available finance, and on how to attract additional finance in transition economies.
