Abstract

This article is an evaluation of the status of harmonisation with regard to Turkey's sustainable development policies in the EU accession process. This evaluation has been performed within the framework of the legal obligations that Turkey has assumed in this regard as member of the international community. This assessment of compliance with these obligations at the national level has been carried out in the context of legally binding documents like the constitution, laws and development plans, as well as with national policy documents like the National Environmental Strategy and Action Plan and National Agenda 21. An examination of Turkey's efforts to comply with EU policies, progress reports and the accession partnership document that outlines EU's expectations and the commitments in the national program that Turkey has prepared for this purpose reveals that the issue of environmental harmonisation has been designated as a priority policy area. However, it is clear that Turkey has made no progress with regard to compliance with sustainable development policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This Country Environmental Analysis (CEA) has been developed by the World Bank in cooperation with the Government of Jordan. It aims to integrate environment into development and poverty reduction priorities. The CEA will be a vital instrument for designing Jordans future policies, by integrating the economic policy tools in our decision making processes. As the latest economic crises and its implications have shown, an economic model that is based on consumption alone cannot be sustained; accordingly many countries identified the need to green their economics as the base for sustainable growth and development. Jordans green economic initiative will enhance social integration, economic growth an environmental sustainability within one focused, measured and stable economic plan. Jordan is a small country that is rich in human capital; the green journey will be a twenty years program to retrofit our infrastructure, to become energy, water and resource efficient. The recommendations identified in this document will be the main drivers for the environmental policies in the country. The issue of adequate incentives for better quantity management clearly remains important, but is not addressed in this report. After the national agenda was established, it appears that the reduction of water related subsidies and the creation of incentives for allocating water to higher value added uses are being recognized as necessities that public policies will address in the future.
