Purpose: The research in the article was conducted to diagnose the state of environmental protection in the West Pomeranian region, that is, to get an answer to the question in which districts the state of environmental protection was at the best level in which the situation was worse. Design/methodology/approach: The article classifies 21 counties of the West Pomeranian region in terms of the state of environmental protection in 2020. The counties were divided based on the taxonomic development measure as a tool for classifying socio-economic objects. Findings: The study showed that the best state of environmental protection was characterized by the districts of Sławieński, Choszczeński, Police, and the city of Koszalin. The worst state of environmental protection was characterized by the districts of Pyrzyce, Kamienski, and the city of Szczecin. Research limitations/implications: A taxonomic study conducted based on a set of variables that do not contain the most relevant characteristics (due to lack of statistical data) of the studied phenomenon may lead to an erroneous assessment of reality is the most significant limitation of this article. Practical implications: The presented study can be used at the regional level to assess environmental problems and determine corrective and counteracting actions to the current situation. Social implications: The results of the study make it possible to revise the actions of environmental policy realized in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. Originality/value: This study is an independent and comprehensive analysis of the state of environmental protection in the West Pomeranian province.
