ATTITUDES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TOWARDS ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS. EXAMPLES OF POLAND, SLOVENIA, AND ITALY

Summary/Abstract: To achieve the aim of the article - to indicate and characterise the attitudes of local leaders in municipalities (Polish, Slovenian and Italian) towards activities of pro-ecological importance - an attempt was made to determine what prompts local government authorities to implement pro-ecological solutions. Do local government authorities undertake real vs. apparent pro-ecological activities? What is the strength of the influence of grassroots social movements and lobbyists on the local decision-making process in the context of environmental impact? How common is the sense of agency among local leaders about pro-ecological activities at the municipal level, and what factors determine this? Research shows that most local government officials are indifferent to environmental and ecological issues.
