    In 2005, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA, 2005) provided the first comprehensive report on global ecosystems, the dependence of human societies on the services provided, current state, and likely future trajectory. The MA identified the failure to value ecosystem services as a major contributing cause. The 2001 environment strategy did not explicitly address environmental valuation, although the focus on poverty and environment implies a need for valuing natural resources and environmental services.

    Biologically diverse ecosystems in countries served by the World Bank provide an array of valuable economic services. While the benefits of conserving ecosystems frequently outweigh the costs, conversion of these ecosystems to other uses occurs anyway, because many ecosystem benefits are of a public good nature, without markets that would reflect their real value.

    Yemen

    The review focuses on development and
    the environment in Yemen, particularly analyzing the
    environment resource base, where renewable fresh water is
    scarce, mainly ground water, and its over exploitation is
    one of the country's major environmental problems.
    Fisheries resources are also important, while oil and gas
    are significant resources contributing to some eighty five
    percent of Yemen's export revenues. Environmental

    The intensive development of tourism in
    the Gulf of Aqaba presents both an opportunity and a dilemma
    for Egypt. Intensive tourism, if left unmanaged, can inflict
    irreversible damage on coral reef and desert ecosystems and
    curtail the area's economic potential. Together with
    current projections for a rapid expansion of the tourism
    base in the Aqaba coast, degradation from mounting
    recreational activities give rise to serious concerns about

    Argentina

    The study reviews the challenges water
    resources management faces, and the opportunities for policy
    formulation towards sustainable development in Argentina,
    where regardless of prudent public finances management,
    water resources management remain disproportionately
    backward compared to regional, and international best
    practices. Hence, within a frame of reference on the
    country's population, institutions, and legal

    This staff sector assessment note
    accompanies the recently completed national environmental
    action plan for sustainable development (NEAP-SD), which, as
    an output of the Industrial Pollution Control Project in
    Algeria, focused on charting a new course for environmental
    management in the country, based on an objective assessment
    of past policy, and institutional failures, on a new
    consensus on the need for mainstreaming the environment into

    República Dominicana

    This report discusses the affects of
    rapid economic growth and increased urbanization on the
    environmental quality of the Dominican Republic's
    natural resource base (e.g., water resources
    management--water quality, quantity and watershed management
    and solid waste collection and disposal have become major
    environmental concerns). It notes that the lack of
    systematic data limits an accurate and detailed assessment

    Asia, Asia central, Europa

    This report reviews the status of the 28
    countries of Europe and Central Asia (ECA) with respect to
    the environmental Millennium Development Goal (MDG). The aim
    of this goal is to 'ensure environmental
    sustainability,' which is elaborated by a set of three
    targets and eight indicators. The indicators for the
    environment MDG are important not only as measures of
    environmental sustainability, but also as contributors to

    This paper provides a simple, yet
    robust, methodology for comparing proposed hydroelectric
    project sites in terms of their expected negative
    environmental impacts, and relating these to power
    generation benefits. The paper also summarizes the
    environmental mitigation options for large dams. If properly
    implemented, these mitigation measures can effectively
    prevent, minimize, or compensate for many (though not all)
