The study focuses on the Visegrad Four countries, which form the core of Central Europe. The V4 countries share certain common characteristics that naturally lead them to cooperate. They have the unique potential to be more than just a formal cooperation of four states with shared values and similar histories. Environmental issues are, by their very nature non-local, so they transcend the territory of a single country and affect large regions, often on a global scale. The alliance of the four states that make up the Visegrad Group allows them to coordinate their actions within the EU and NATO. This study aims to map and analyse the environmental situation of the V4 countries and their management of disaster situations, paying attention to the cooperation, or lack of it, that applies in disaster situations between the V4 countries.
