Environmental protection seems to be a very important social problem, associated with allocations of
substantive amounts of social resources. Designs and implementation models of environmental policies have
significant impacts on the effectiveness of such allocations. The authors have developed a novel methodology
for ex-post environmental policy implementation assessment. The methodology has been approved as the
one suggested for environmental policy assessment by the Czech Ministry of the Environment. It covers all
three pillars of sustainable development and applies multicriteria analysis as its main methodological tool. The
paper also presents two applications of the methodology - in Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control
(IPPC) and Solid Waste Management in the Czech Republic.
