  6. Croatia: 2nd Environmental Performance Review, 2013 • Benefits for the reviewed country - contribution to the improvement of national environmental management - objective, well-argumented and non-judgmental report by the recognized authority - neutral perspective - well framed, constructive recommendations - a number of recommendations corresponding to national MDG environmental targets - report serves as a basis in preparation of environmental policy documents

  7. Croatia: Examples of policy changes due to EPR • Waste management: - remediation of official and illegal landfills - construction of waste management centers - investments in primary waste selectionsystem • Cleaner transport: - co-financing in procurement of ecologically acceptable vehicles for public and companies - determination of excise duty according to ecological criteria - Act on the promotion of clean and energy-efficient road transport vehicles - the “greening” of public transport in cities and municipalities

  8. Germany: Role of the reviewer country • Triple role of Germany: reviewer in the ECE, donor for the reviews in ECE, and reviewed country in OECD • Review of EPR report in consultation with an official country delegation of the reviewed country, with particular attention given to conclusions and recommendations. • Support the ECE EPR Programme with human and financial resources for many years (since 2010, 8 EPRs supported). • As a member of OECD, Germany’s performance is also regularly reviewed (3 reviews since 1990’s; last one in 2012 with 29 recommendations).

  9. Germany: Benefits for a reviewer? • EPRs install a policy dialogue among countries • EPRs stimulate cooperation between countries and identify needed areas for further cooperation • EPRs improve environmental convergence throughout the UNECE region • EPRs create opportunities for a mutual learning process between countries

  10. Questions for discussion • What could be the added value of regional peer review mechanisms in a multi-layered accountability framework on SDGs? • Can the broad scope of SDGs be covered by peer review mechanisms? • What existing bodies or platforms could be engaged in SDG peer review?
