Budgets have a big influence on the economy and society. With many
countries, about 50 percent of total expenditures and income pass
through the budget via taxes, charges and expenditures. In recent
years many countries, e. g. in the OECD and the EU, have tended to
use this influence in an environmentally rational way. Tradi tional
environmental policy has relied on command-and-control and
cnd-olpipc technologies that have proven to be insufficient in
coping with the challenge of glo bal change. Hence, many countries
have started to investigate the environmental impacts of their
budgets by looking at existing taxes and charges, as well as tax
allowances and exemptions and other relevant regulations and
expenditures -even to have a special impact on the environment. The
implementation of those not meant such findings is now broadly
discussed in these countries. This publication will contribute to
the debate. It is a result of a wider project called Green Budget
Reform -Prospects in Central and Eastern Europe. initiated by Vida
Ogorelec Wagner, managing Director of Umanotera, The Sloven ian
Founda tion for Sustainable Development, and then jointly
developed. proposed to the EC and carried out in partnership with
Kai Schlegelmich of the Wuppertal Institute in Germany. The project
comprised an international seminar on Green Budget Reform in April
1997 at Lake Bled, Slovenia, and the Case Study of Sloveilla."
