Water & life

“Freshwater is essential for healthy ecosystems, for sustainable development and for human survival itself.

“If current trends continue, two out of every three people on earth will suffer moderate to severe water shortages in a little more than two decades from now.

“This is a social, economic, environmental and political crisis that should be among the world community’s highest priority.

“Whatever else divides the human community, … the global water cycle itself should link us in a common effort to protect and share it equitably, sustainably and peacefully.”

Operational Programme Environment 2007-13

develops the priority axis of the National Development Plan“Protection and Improvement of the Environment” for the period 2007-2013.

Aim of the priority axis is the enhancement of quality of environment, the conditio sine qua non of attractiveness and competitiveness of the state and its regions.

Strategic aim of the Operational Programme Environment (hereafter OPE) is the protection and amelioration of quality of environment, fundamental principle of sustainable development; with focus on fulfilment of requirements of the EC legal regulations.


OPE – Intro # 2

Specific priorities and domains of intervention come out especially from:

Strategy of Sustainable Development approved by the Government Decision No. 1242 of 8 December 2004,

State Environmental Policy of the Czech Republic for the period 20042010, approved by the Government Decision No. 235 of 17 March 2004,
