| description |
Governments worldwide have increasingly
recognized the economic potential and fiscal advantages of
privatization. What is less well recognized is that, under
the right conditions, privatization can also yield
environmental benefits and contribute to sustainable
development. This report reviews a number of case studies to
draw lessons about the environmental implications of
privatization. It emphasizes that privatization offers an
opportunity for making strategic decisions with longer-term
impacts; streses that integrating environmental and social
considerations into the privatization process leads to
better, more sustainable outcomes; and recommends approaches
to building on the positive linkages between privatization
and environmental protection. |
