Cover Image
This report was jointly prepared by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the European Environment Agency (EEA) to support the development of sustainable consumption and production policies and implementation activities in the countries of South East Europe and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia. The objective is to identify opportunities for and barriers to more sustainable consumption and production in the SEE and EECCA countries, and to highlight relevant experience which could be replicated throughout the region.

Figures used

Total waste generation and GDP in the EECCA countries (1995-2004 Reference year (index) was 1995 = 100 and GDP in 2000 constant prices.
Total public transport (passenger km)
Food shopping preferences, by distance and mode of transport, Belgrade
Food purchase by place of sale in Ramenskoye
Changing household consumption patterns in EECCA (1995-2005)
Municipal waste generation in kilograms per capita in the EECCA countries (1995-2004) Georgia has reported the same total MSW amount for the entire period.
Energy intensities of EECCA and SEE countries measured in tonnes of oil equivalent per unit GDP in purchasing power parity
Road freight moved in central Asia (tkm) Figures for Kazakhstan (after 1995), Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan (both after 1998) include estimates for freight transported by nontransport operators; breaks in trends indicate where measurement methodology changed.
Location of the 18 city studies carried out for this report
Food as a share of household budget, and place of purchase, Belgrade
Industrial waste generation and accumulation in Kazakhstan
Selected environmental impacts in 2020 from the use of various options for municipal waste management in Chisinau, Moldova The values stated in figure 8.9 are related to the highest value within each impact category, i.e., if the global warming impact of landfilling is equal to 100 % in 2020 then the value is only 30 % for the two other scenarios.
Residential final energy consumption per capita (1994-2004)
Non-fossil fuel contribution to total electricity generation
Dietary energy consumption (kcal/person/day)
Trends in household and government final consumption expenditure per capita in PPP (1990-2005)
Hazardous waste treatment/disposal in selected EECCA countries The Russian Federation only includes figures for recovery and not for recycling and incineration
Patterns of household expenditure in individual countries (2005)
Rail as a proportion of total freight moved in selected SEE and EECCA countries (excluding pipelines)
Municipal waste generation in kilograms per capita in the SEE countries (1999-2005)
GDP in purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita by region, (1990-2005)
Relative decoupling of resource use (energy, material extraction) and environmental pressures (CO2) from economic growth, EECCA (1992-2004)
Seasonal changes in the composition of household waste in the region of Donetsk
Residential energy consumption per capita by final use energy carrier (2004)
Freight moved, excluding pipelines (tkm)
Exports in SEE and EECCA countries (2000 and 2005)
Energy consumed by agriculture and forestry (1990-2005)
Irrigated area as a percentage of agricultural land area
International trade in the EECCA region (1994-2005)
Production by the fishing fleets of EECCA and SEE (1992-2005)
Economic structural change, shares in gross value added (1995-2005)
CO2 emissions in transport
Rail freight as a proportion of total freight moved in Central Asia (tkm) Figures for later years based on a broader definition of road freight moved (as above); breaks in trends indicate where measurement methodology changed.
Prevalence of under-nourishment in EECCA and SEE
Carbon dioxide emissions per capita in EECCA and SEE countries (2004)
Percentage of households connected to district heating
Regional developments in food consumption (1992-2005)
Industrial growth vs. emissions in selected EECCA and SEE countries (1991-2005) GHG energy includes 'emissions from fuels combusted by fuel extraction or energy producing industries'
Ecological footprint versus global available bio-capacity per person (2003)
Household expenditure and government expenditure as a percentage of GDP
Agricultural production per capita (indexed to 1999-2001 average)
Ownership of passenger cars in EECCA The registration system for motor vehicles in Georgia was revised in the late 1990s a process that removed many cars that were no longer in use from the system
Residential and services final energy consumption as a proportion of total final consumption (2004)
Road freight moved in selected SEE and EECCA countries (tkm)
Municipal waste composition in selected EECCA and SEE countries Some of the figures cover only larger cities

Accumulated volume of industrial wastes in five Central Asian countries
Growth in the main economic sectors (1995-2005)
Trends in fertiliser input per hectare (1992-2002)
Production of key construction materials in EECCA countries
Imports and exports of agricultural food products (1992-2005)
Land-based public transport use in Central Asia (1) Bus only prior to 1989/1990, (2) Bus and rail from 1989/1990, (3) Private bus operators included from 1997/1998; in each case breaks in trends indicate a change of measurement methodology.
Number of companies with ISO 14001 and ISO 9001:2000 certification in SEE and EECCA countries (2001-2005)
Human Development Index versus GDP in EECCA and SEE (2004)

Environmental trends and perspectives in the Western Balkans: future production and consumption patterns This report looks at the forces shaping the future of the environment in the Western Balkans, in particular at the role of consumption and production patterns. It begins with a review of key recent environmental trends in the region, then analyses the global, European, regional and national drivers — such as social, political and economic — that are shaping production and consumption patterns. Addressing environmental challenges in a sustainable manner requires a close review of plausible future developments in other sectors and the potential implications of these drivers on the environment. At the end report also looks at how different actors in the region can act to shape environmental futures. The report takes a futures perspective because the countries of the Western Balkan are at a turning point in the development of their economies, societies and environment. This is important as in the long term, political, economic and other changes may exacerbate some environmental problems, create new ones and provide the means to address existing issues. The report also closely reviews and assesses how can available information support region-wide forward-looking integrated environment assessment.
