Summary/Abstract: During the last twenty years, there has been a sharp increase in importance and role of foreign direct investment as a promoter of economic development. In addition to generating the expected development benefits, foreign direct investments offer the possibility of improving the environmental performance of the host country, and thereupon act as a strong support in achieving goals of sustainable development. Respecting the fact that the development effects of foreign direct investment on the host country do not manifest automatically, the aim of this paper is to indicate the main policy mechanism through which developing countries and countries in transition can take advantages of foreign direct investment for achieving environmental improvement and sustainable development.
