The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Environmental Performance Review Programme assesses progress made by individual countries in reconciling their economic and social development with environmental protection, as well as in meeting international commitments on environment and sustainable development.
The Second Environmental Performance Review of Azerbaijan takes stock of the progress made by Azerbaijan in the management of its environment since the country was first reviewed in 2003. It assesses the implementation of the recommendations in the first review (Annex I). It also covers nine issues of importance to Azerbaijan concerning policymaking, planning and implementation, the financing of environmental policies and projects, and the integration of environmental concerns into economic sectors, in particular water management, waste management and forestry.
