    Mongolia, Asia oriental, Oceanía

    Mongolia has very significant natural resources and a large part of the population is dependent on them for their daily living. The impact of the state of the environment on the living standards of herders is obvious, but also Mongolians living in the capital Ulaanbaatar have learned that air pollution, especially in winter, and other environmental problems have a deep impact on their living standards. The Government of the Netherlands has established a Trust Fund at the World Bank to support environmental activities in Mongolia.

    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

    Egipto

    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

    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

    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 seeks to clarify how
    valuation should be conducted to answer specific
    environmental policy questions. In particular, it looks at
    how valuation should be used to examine four distinct
    aspects of the value of ecosystems: 1) Determining the value
    of the total flow of benefits from ecosystems; 2)
    Determining the net benefits of interventions that alter
    ecosystem conditions: 3) Examining how the costs and

    Mozambique

    Mozambique's continuous efforts to
    sustain economic growth and reduce poverty face a number of
    constraints including its economic and political history,
    and its geography and climatic conditions. It is widely
    accepted that future economic growth of the country will
    continue to rely on its natural resources base and,
    specifically, on sustainable use of land and water
    resources. Mozambique has plentiful land and water resources

    Guatemala

    This paper uses data from Guatemala to
    map areas that are important for the provision of indirect
    ecosystem services, services whose benefits are enjoyed at
    some distance from the ecosystem that provides them, such as
    watershed services (enjoyed downstream) or biodiversity
    conservation (enjoyed globally). These services are usually
    externalities from the perspective of land users, and so
    tend to be under-provided. Mapping the areas that supply
