Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to assess the level and spatial differentiation of selected environmental governance parameters in the context of implementing the sustainable development concept in rural areas of the Wielkopolskie voivodeship districts in 2005 and 2015. The research procedure was made up of three steps: review of the relevant literature and selection of indicators to describe the environmental governance topics; analyzing the changes in, and spatial differentiation of, specific environmental governance components; and ranking the districts. The basic source of data was the online database delivered by the Central Statistical Office in Warsaw, the Local Data Bank. As shown by the results, there is considerable spatial differentiation of specific environmental governance components; however, when analyzed globally, environmental governance proves to be a relatively non-diversified process. In 2015, the highest sustainability levels were recorded in rural areas of the following districts: Złotów, Kępno and Jarocin. In turn, the lowest levels were found in Września, Wągrowiec and Śrem districts.
