Summary/Abstract: Financing of the environmental protection is an integral part of the financial market and, at the same time, is an essential element of the national environmental policy. Expenditures on the environmental protection, excluding households, in Poland in the years 2009-2010 amounted to 1.7-1.8% of GDP. The analysis shows that West Pomeranian Voivodeship is covered by large forest areas and it has also a high proportion of underwater lands. The largest expenditures in the analysed period in Western Pomerania were incurred, as for the whole country, on wastewater management and water conservation. The own funds had a diminishing part in the financing structure of fixed assets for the environmental protection in Western Pomerania within the analysed period.
