Myanmar strives to improve environmental performance
YANGON, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar is making efforts to achieve better environmental performance in the future after the country won a two-star grade overall performance during the past three years, said a latest report of the local Myanmar Times.
The Myanmar National Commission of Environmental Affairs (NCEA) had identified seven environmental concerns in Myanmar covering the use of forest resources, solid waste management and threats to biodiversity, the commission was quoted as saying.
The NCEA stressed the need to not only enforce environment protection laws to improve the country's environmental performance but also to implement such initiatives as the national environmental action plan and environmental impact assessment regulations.
Meanwhile, a workshop on the development of environmental performance assessment system was recently held in Yangon as part of a three-year conservation project launched by the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) economic grouping in 2003 to promote sustainable development in the GMS countries and help them to develop such assessment system at national level.
