Summary/Abstract: The main objective of ecological policy in a market economy consists in the identification and addressing, with the help of different instruments, market failures in the sphere of environmental protection and natural resources management, as well as modifying the market regulatory system in order to achieve the goals of ecological policy. A fundamental objective of the II State Ecological Policy was to ensure the ecological safety for Polish society at the beginning of XXI century and the creation of foundations for elaborating and implementing the country’s sustainable development strategy. Within the ecological policy, economic instruments play the role of broadly understood non-market prices (shadow prices) for the use of natural resources and values or they are public tributes for this use. The implementation of the majority of economic instruments, as expected according to the II State Ecological Policy, has been only partially achieved. After the year 2005, no new economic instruments have been implemented, except tradable emission permits for carbon dioxide and the so called green, yellow and red certificates in the energy sector.
