environmental and natural resource management in Belarus is
to highlight how environmental management can contribute to
a sustainable future for the country. The report summarizes
major macroeconomic trends and associated environmental
linkages, environmental trends, and institutional issues
facing Belarus in its management of the environment. An
extensive analysis of environmental aspects of energy
efficiency in Belarus and the state of the water supply and
sanitation sector is undertaken. Special attention is given
to exploring the environmental impact of the Chernobyl

lasting radioactive contamination. Natural resource
management issues, particularly relating to agriculture,
forestry and biodiversity, are also examined. |
