No 2972, IDB Publications (Working Papers) from Inter-American Development Bank

Abstract: This study is a first attempt to develop a new orientation on environmental management in the Latin America and Caribbean. The development towards a more strategic environmental management entails an evolution from a centralized management structure into a more decentralized system in which management is reasonably integrated, both vertically and horizontally. The study provides a framework of different criteria, key issues and requirements that are fundamental for an environmental management process and that can be used to develop country-specific action plans for improvement.
