This Strategy Note sets out a framework
for World Bank involvement in the environment sector in the
immediate to medium term. It elaborates upon and reinforces
the environmental objectives specified in Thailand's
Eighth National Economic and Social Development Plan
(1997-2001) and the World Bank's Country Assistance
Strategy for 1998. This report is organized in six sections.
Section 1 provides a brief introduction to the changing
economic and environmental context, and Section 2 describes
the policy and institutional framework in Thailand. Section
3 analyzes environmental trends and priorities in the green,
blue, and brown agendas. Section 4 presents emerging
challenges and the approach used in setting priorities for
World Bank involvement. Section 5 describes a proposed
environmental strategy that includes potential World Bank
operations. Lastly, Section 6 offers a framework for
benchmarking progress.
