1945

Information, public participation and education

The early years after the war may be generally characterized by inertia and unawareness on the part of the population and the authorities of the importance of applying environmental policy and regulations. Most people were not sufficiently aware and informed about the significance of adverse environmental impacts on their health, the environment and the country’s natural resource base. Fortunately, over the past few years, environmental issues have been receiving more and more attention from various levels of government. However, the increase of environmental awareness and competence of the authorities has not yet resulted in improved environmental awareness among the general public and better environmental behaviour by individuals.
