There are three cross-cutting issues that keep recurring throughout the analysis. These issues characterize the environmental management challenge over the next decade: First, the environmental agenda is becoming so complex and large that it cannot be adequately managed by one agency--the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) and its counterparts at lower levels--working on its own. Effective solutions will require the combined and coordinated efforts of many different branches of government and the re-thinking of many development policies. Second, the systemic fiscal and budgetary problems facing the country as a whole are making it difficult for environmental institutions to do their work. There is a growing gap between assigned responsibilities and the resources provided to carry out those responsibilities. Third, the government has to continue to diversify the approaches it takes and the environmental tools it uses to provide a better fit between the solutions developed and the problems being experienced in different parts of the country. The "one-size-fits-all" approach, as exemplified by various mass environmental campaigns, played a useful role in the past, but is proving increasingly inadequate to meet current demands.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADMINISTRATIVE MEASURESADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURESAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL POLICYAIR POLLUTANTSAIR POLLUTIONAIR POLLUTION CONTROLAIR QUALITYAUDITSBASIN AUTHORITYBASIN COMMISSIONBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBODCAPACITY BUILDINGCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONSCARBON MONOXIDECHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMANDCLEANER PRODUCTIONCOALCODCOMMUNITY GROUPSCONSERVATIONCONSERVATION OF NATURECONSTRUCTIONDEBTDEFORESTATIONDEVELOPMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCESECONOMIC FACTORSECONOMIC GROWTHEMISSIONEMISSION SOURCESEMISSION STANDARDSEMISSIONSEMPLOYMENTENDANGERED SPECIESENVIRONMENT PROGRAMENVIRONMENT STRATEGYENVIRONMENTAL AGENDAENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL CAMPAIGNSENVIRONMENTAL DIMENSIONSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTUREENVIRONMENTAL INVESTMENTSENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL LAWENVIRONMENTAL LAWSENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PERMITSENVIRONMENTAL PRIORITIESENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCYENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMMISSIONENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIESENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCESENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGYEQUILIBRIUMEXPENDITURESEXTERNALITIESFLUE GASFORESTRYFUELSGASGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTGLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITYGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNSGREENHOUSEHAZARDOUS WASTESHEALTH RISKSHUMAN RESOURCESIMPARTIAL JUDICIARYIMPLEMENTATION OF POLICIESINDUSTRIAL AREASINDUSTRIAL POLLUTIONINDUSTRIAL WASTELAND DEGRADATIONLAND RESOURCESLEGAL STATUSLIVESTOCK PRODUCTIONMUNICIPAL SEWAGEMUNICIPAL WASTEMUNICIPAL WASTEWATERNATURAL ENVIRONMENTNATURAL FORESTSNATURAL RESOURCESNATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENTNITROGEN OXIDESOILOZONEOZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCESPARTICULATE MATTERPERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTSPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOLLUTANTSPOLLUTION CONTROLPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY LINEPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONQUALITY ASSESSMENTRESOURCES MANAGEMENTRIVER BASINRIVER BASIN AUTHORITYRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTRIVER BASINSRIVERSSEWAGE TREATMENTSOLID WASTESOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSPATIAL PLANNINGSULFUR DIOXIDESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTTIMBERTRADE ORGANIZATIONVEHICLE EMISSIONSWASTEWASTE DISCHARGESWASTE MANAGEMENTWASTE WATERWASTE WATER TREATMENTWASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANTWASTEWATERWASTEWATER POLLUTIONWATER AVAILABILITYWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER DEMANDWATER POLLUTIONWATER QUALITYWATER QUALITY TRENDSWATER RESOURCESWATER TABLEWATER TREATMENTWATER TREATMENT PLANTWATER USEWETLANDSWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-4937-6
