Cover
Current rating: n/a

Author(s): UNDP BRC

How do we address the legacy of industrialization of the former USSR and other countries in the region? How do we ensure that private ownership does not overlook the environmental burdens left behind by state-controlled industry? The Czech Republic has taken a unique approach to dealing with old environmental burdens, or ‘hot spots’, and this publication, which provides an overview of the Czech programme and offers case studies of proven remediation techniques, is a valuable resource for decision-makers, managers and owners of contaminated/industrial sites as well as for consultancy companies in the CEE and CIS countries.
