The current report is a milestone for
preparing the Romanian climate change (CC) action plan. A CC
action plan should be based on the consolidation and
coordination of both mitigation and adaptation measures and
options. An important step in the elaboration of such a plan
is the selection of appropriate actions. This selection
requires the involvement of competent authorities in the key
sectors, including, in the case of Romania, transport,

The countries of Central and Eastern
Europe and Central Asia have a long history of striving for
gender equality, especially in the public sphere. Not only
was this an important goal during the socialist era, but
governments continued to pursue gender equality even during
the difficult years of transition. The governments in the
region allocated substantial resources toward the health and
education of both women and men. They also adopted

This report looks beyond the current
global financial crisis to the restoration of dynamic
long-run growth in Serbia. The answer in this report is that
Serbia will need to fundamentally alter its growth model to
compete effectively in world markets. The past model relying
on excessive inflows of capital and credit that, in part,

European countries. Serbia must shift to a greater export

Greenhouse gas emissions are largely determined by how energy is created and used, and policies designed to encourage mitigation efforts reflect this reality. However, an unintended consequence of an energy-focused strategy is that the set of policy instruments needed to tap mitigation opportunities in agriculture is incomplete. In particular, market-linked incentives to achieve mitigation targets are disconnected from efforts to better manage carbon sequestered in agricultural land.

Problems have resulted from incomplete first title
registration, the lack of accurate cadastral records, and,
in many cases, the absence of reliable evidence of
ownership. Although Albania has adopted legislation calling
for restitution or compensation for owners whose property

This report is based on research conducted throughout 2011–2012 in cooperation
with Ukrainian agricultural producer Mriya Agro Holding to assess
the country’s potential for producing cellulose from straw.

agribusinesses, paper-industry players and financial institutions –
how Ukraine’s available supply of straw could be efficiently used to produce
paper and cardboard, through the implementation of a major straw-tocellulose
program.

Like other regions, Eastern Europe and
Central Asia is vulnerable to climate change and its
potential socioeconomic impacts. While all countries are
facing warmer temperatures, a changing hydrology, and more
extreme events (for example, floods and droughts) and are
concerned about the level of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere, they differ in their financial and institutional
capacities to respond. Therefore, especially for the most

The main objective of the assessment is
to determine how Poland's environmental and social
safeguard systems can be used in place of the corresponding
Bank safeguards, at sector, sub-national, or country level,
and how it will apply to current and future Bank-financed
operations in Poland. This assessment will be done through a
safeguard diagnostic review which involves: (i) an
equivalence analysis, to determine if the Poland legal and
