From the supplier: A 'new environmentalism' is emerging all over the world. About 100 countries have now prepared national environmental strategies, and tangible changes in addressing environmental issues are apparent in about half of these countries. A recent review of the World Bank's environmental lending portfolio identified 10 principles underlying the new environmentalism. These include setting priorities carefully, making every dollar count, harnessing 'win-win' opportunities, using market instruments where feasible, and economizing on administrative and regulatory capacity. Other principles are working with the private sector, involving citizens extensively, placing more importance on management than technology, and incorporating the environment from the start.
