중부, 서부 및 동부 유럽

The Central, Eastern and Western Europe (CEWE) region brings together European countries both inside and outside the European Union. Culturally and economically, it is often viewed as two broad sub-regions: Western Europe, with its long history of political and economic integration, and Central & Eastern Europe, shaped by its position between the former Western and Eastern blocs and its more recent transition from centrally planned to market-based economies.

Despite their differences and ongoing political challenges, countries across the CEWE region share a strong commitment to tackling pollution. They work together on issues ranging from contaminated sites and toxic pesticides to industrial pollution and hazardous chemicals in everyday products.
