This Environment Policy Paper, Making the Slovak Republic a More Resource Efficient Economy, identifies a number of options for improving resource efficiency in the Slovak Republic.
Starting from the 2011 OECD Environmental Performance Review of the Slovak Republic, it builds on lessons from OECD work on sustainable materials management, resource productivity and green growth, developments in the European Union concerning the circular economy, and the outcomes of the 2016 high-level international Conference on “Transition to the Green Economy” organised under the Slovak EU Presidency.
The aim of the paper is to contribute to a policy debate on the actions and decisions that are needed for a transition towards a green economy in the Slovak Republic.
