Resumen
Environmental threats have been increasingly taken into account in scientific and technological policy formulation. However. Research-Development (R&D) efforts in that area have been somewhat uneven among countries and there have been different institutional developments. One central issue concerns the place that environment research should have. Should it be isolated in the general organisation of R&D or should countries develop a more integrated approach? A proper use ofinternational co-operation has also become essential, given the global dimension of many environmental threats.This report results from an exploratory exercise undertoken in selected OECDcountries. The country studies are published separately under the title SCIENCE RESPONDS TO ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS: Country Studies.
