- Title
MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS AND CHALLENGES.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the major achievements of the environmental management system in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. The main environmental authority was established in 1989 and went through several structural reforms, particularly frequent after 1999. Presently, the Ministry of Ecology and Emergency Situations has full executive authority in environmental protection. Over the last few years the attention of environmental inspectors has been placed primarily on enforcing the payments of pollution charges as the way to compensate for the limited funding of environmental authorities. The government emphasizes the economic recovery of the country without taking due account of external environmental costs imposed by current production patterns.
