| Private Sector Industrial Pollution Abatement Project - Turkey | In the face of the increasing environmental awareness of Turkish industry and the pressure from international markets (especially the EU) to reduce the environmental impacts of industrial processes, the industry is in need of new finance for pollution abatement.

The study assesses the industry’s demand for environmental investments in general and for the new World Bank credit package in particular. The methodology involves the design, implementation and analysis of questionnaires for the industry, regulating authorities and non-governmental organisations. | 1999 | Air Quality | Industry | Policy Design | |
