Book Description
Recognizing the benefits of global trade, many of the world's developing countries and countries with economies in transition, have sought to actively participate in the global trading regime. Recently, however, the undesirable effect of environmental degradation has emerged as a result of rapid increase in trade. This case study on Chile's Mining sector is one of a series of United Nations Environment Programme publications that discusses the country's experience with the environmental impacts of trade liberalization on their natural and environmental resources. It also presents innovative strategies to address negative impacts and strengthen positive ones. The other country studies available are: on Bangladesh's Shrimp farming industry; India's automotive sector; the Philippines' forestry sector; Romania's water sector and Uganda's fisheries sector

Book Description
This report on the Romanian water sector, is one in a series of the United Nations Environment Programme publications presenting country studies. The study addresses the short and long-term impact on the water sector resulting from the 1997 removal of quantitative restrictions on export. It identifies policy options required to mitigate the negative impacts of such policies. This project aims to develop economic instruments to address current pricing mechanism shortcoming.The underlying problem causing unsustainable water use practices is that current water prices are not determined on the basis of full-cost-recovery. This study aims to develop economic instruments to address current pricing mechanism shortcomings. It examines current water use practices and the development of new economic instruments. A review of international literature was made to provide guidance for Romania where higher water costs are likely to have an important impact on competitiveness. The results indicate that industrial companies are sensitive to the costs of water. It highlights that low water prices mean that cost recovery is not achieved and little or no account is taken of economic factors in forecasting water demands.

Book Description
Many of the world's developing countries and countries with economies in transition, have sought to actively participate in the global trading regime through structural readjustment, foreign investment and targeting particular export markets. However the rapid increase in trade has often lead to environmental degradation. UNEP believes that environmental considerations should be integrated into developmental planning and has worked with six countries to identify the impacts of trade liberalisation and instruments that can sustainably manage those impacts. This case study is on Bangladesh's shrimp farming sector. As well as putting the export-oriented shrimp culture in its economic context, it reviews the evidence of environmental impact, examines the costs and benefits and then looks at policy measures to promote an environmentally friendly industry.
