ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION STRATEGY

Summary/Abstract: ln contrast to the former policy that was founded on the solution of already arisen problems in the field of environment protection, today' s environmental policy in developed countries, especially in EU member countries, is based on the princip/es of . sustainable development, that is on the integration of environment protection policy in all sectors along with the promotion of the princip/e of shared responsibility. Therefore the key guide/ine in defining our strategic targets is the accommodation of our society to the concept and philosophy of sustainable development. Moreover, having in mind the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina has decided for the process of stabilisation and association with the European Union, the strategies for the protection of the environment in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and at other levels will play one of the key roi es on this road, given that the environment sector is a highly positioned priority of the Union. lt is beyond dispute that human resources constitute a great value of the Federation BiH, which unfortunately has not been systematically included in the environment protection p roce ss es. The reasons for that are to be look ed for in the fact that environment problems are very little taught about in our schools, while environmental education is a/most nonexistent. Even most university institutions that study pu blic policies, consider it no social problem at all if in the course of study the environment policy and the environment management system are not studied. And the acquisition of knowledge about environment is the first step towards the solution of the environment problem. The federal strategy of environmental protection provides for the construction of a basic educational system targeted at the coming generations that might give an important contribution to the overall awareness of the need to p reserve the environment, and by means of these processes reduce the risk of lasting damages to the environment. lt is a long and expensive process that demands the engagement of the whole social community, butthis process has no alternative.
