Technical Report · Sun Aug 01 04:00:00 EDT 1993

OSTI ID:5795476

The Background Paper provides an overview of developing country environmental problems and markets for environmental technologies and services. It discusses preliminary estimates on the amount and purposes of environmental aid provided by donor countries in 1991. It discusses the commercial implications of other countries' aid for U.S. environmental firms, and the Helsinki package adopted by the OECD in late 1991 to limit commercial advantage from use of tied aid credits. Japan's aid program, which seems likely to become the largest bilateral source of development assistance and environmental aid, receives the most attention. The Paper's appendixes discuss environmental markets in developing and newly industrialized countries, and U.S. export promotion programs pertinent to environmental technologies and services.
