The report is presented in two volumes, with the first volume providing an integrated view of the sector as currently configured around environmental management, water, and forestry, and the second volume dedicated to a detailed review of the forestry sector. Volume 1 is organized as follows: Part I provides an overall introduction, objectives and context of the review; Part II summarizes the key challenges facing the sector, focusing on the three main sub-sectors, environmental management, water, and forestry; Part III reviews the strategic framework of the sector, pointing out areas where improvements will be needed; Part IV reviews the configuration of the sector, its organization and performance; Part V assesses the salient cross-cutting issues; and Part VI presents the key recommendations. Volume 2, dedicated to the forestry sub-sector, is organized along the four assessment areas.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSORPTIONABSORPTION CAPACITYACCESS TO INFORMATIONADMINISTRATIVE BODIESADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITYADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSESAFFORESTATIONAGRICULTURAL POLICYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTUREAIRAIR POLLUTIONAIR QUALITYAIR QUALITY MANAGEMENTALLOCATION OF RESOURCESAMBIENT OZONEAMMONIAAQUATIC LIFEAQUIFERSASBESTOSAUDITSBASESBIOCIDESBIODIVERSITYBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBIOMASSBIOSECURITYCADMIUMCARBONCARBON CAPTURECARBON EMISSIONSCARBON MANAGEMENTCERTIFICATIONCIVIL SOCIETYCLEAN AIRCLEAN WATERCLEAN WATER SUPPLYCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECOCOASTAL ZONECOASTAL ZONESCOMBUSTIONCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMON FORESTCOMPENSATIONCONSTRUCTIONCONVERGENCECOST BENEFIT ANALYSISDISSOLUTIONDISTRICT HEATINGDRINKING WATERECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC VALUEEFFECTIVE USEEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTSEMISSIONSENERGY EFFICIENCYENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTSENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONENVIRONMENTAL LAWENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATIONENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL POLICYENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYFARMSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISHFISH WATERFISHERIESFLOOD DAMAGEFLOOD MANAGEMENTFLOOD PROTECTIONFLOOD RISKFLOOD RISK MANAGEMENTFLOODSFORESTFOREST AREASFOREST FIRESFOREST INVENTORYFOREST MANAGEMENTFOREST OWNERSFOREST OWNERSHIPFOREST POLICYFOREST RESEARCHFOREST RESOURCESFOREST STRATEGYFORESTRYFORESTRY SECTORFORESTSFUELGHGGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER QUALITYHAZARDOUS WASTEHEALTH PROBLEMSHIGH LEVELSHYDROLOGYINCINERATIONINDUSTRIAL POLLUTIONLAND RECLAMATIONLANDFILLLARGE DAMSLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL COMMUNITIESMERCURYMETEOROLOGYMISTNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNEGATIVE IMPACTNH3NITRATENITRATESNITROGENNITROGEN OXIDENOXOILSORGANIC CHEMICALSPARTICULATEPARTICULATESPOLLUTANTPOLLUTANTSPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION CONTROLPOLLUTION PREVENTIONPOLLUTION TAXESPRESENT VALUEPRIVATIZATIONPROJECT MANAGEMENTPROTECTED AREASPUBLIC GOODSPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONRADIATIONRADIOACTIVITYREGIONAL DEVELOPMENTREGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONREGULATORY AGENCIESREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRENEWABLE ENERGYRESOURCE CONSERVATIONRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRESOURCE OWNERSHIPRISK MANAGEMENTRIVERRIVER BASINRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT PLANSRIVER BASINSRIVER MANAGEMENTRURAL DEVELOPMENTSAFE DRINKING WATERSAFE WATERSAFE WATER SUPPLYSANITATION SERVICESSEASENIOR MANAGEMENTSERVICE DELIVERYSO2SOLID WASTESOLVENTSSPATIAL MANAGEMENTSULFURSULFUR DIOXIDESURFACE WATERSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE FORESTSUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE USETIMBERTREATIESURBAN WASTE WATERVOCVOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDSWASTE MANAGEMENTWASTE WATER TREATMENTWASTEWATERWASTEWATER TREATMENTWATER ABSTRACTIONWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER INVESTMENTSWATER LAWWATER MANAGEMENTWATER MANAGEMENT POLICYWATER POLICYWATER QUALITYWATER QUALITY OBJECTIVESWATER RESOURCESWATER SECTORWATER SUPPLYWATERSWINDWIND FARMSWOOD ENERGYWorld Bank10.1596/12209
