Abstract
The ECOREG project, which is funded by the Life‐Environment programme, aims to demonstrate the concept and implementation of eco‐efficiency, using the Finnish Kymenlaakso region as a case study. Indicators for regional eco‐efficiency, combining the ecological, economic, social and cultural aspects of development, will be designed and quantified for the year 2000. A long‐term (2005, 2010, …) mechanism will also be prepared for evaluating progress made in regional eco‐efficiency in Kymenlaakso and for prioritizing actions needed for further improvement.
