Abstract

The timely and effective implementation of policy responses to environmental change in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEECs) is a significant challenge given their lack of appropriate institutional structures, expertise and financial resources. Poor or nonimplementation by CEECs, in turn, undermines efforts to address common environmental security threats on a pan-European basis.
