This report first assesses emerging literature to define key concepts for recovery and introduces criteria to distinguish public policy actions aimed at promoting a green and long-term vision recovery. An analysis framework is then provided: The Green Growth Index to help governments find sustainable development gaps, using green growth dimensions, to formulate ex ante actions aligned with them that foster greater climate resilience from the local.
This study addresses the critical need for a private sector focused market assessment of plastics recycling in the Philippines. Reuse, refill and new delivery model aspects of a circular economy for plastics are evaluated, but the primary focus of the study is plastic recycling, where scalable private sector investment solutions are greatest.
This report focuses on the market assessment of plastics value chains and the recycling market in Thailand with the overall goal of identifying the opportunities and barriers for plastics circularity in the country.
This study addresses a critical need for a market assessment of the plastics value chain in Malaysia.
Cambodia is facing a major environmental threat because of deforestation resulting from forest conversion to agricultural land but also from the use of forest wood as fuel. However using agricultural residues, such as rice husk, can be considered carbon neutral since the CO2 released during the combustion is reabsorbed every year by the crops during the next growing season. International companies are therefore encouraging their garment suppliers in Cambodia to switch from unsustainable firewood to greener fuels such as rice husk briquettes.

This book was prepared upon an initiative of the GEF/FAO project on “Sustainable Management of Mountainous Forest and Land Resources under Climate Change Conditions”. It is based on the international experience in implementing the principles of ecosys- tem services provision, the results of CAREC projects on the assessment of ecosystem services and PES, the report of the UNDP/UNEP Poverty and Environment Initiative on the assessment of ecosystem services of the Chon Kemin State Natural Park and the Karakol National Park, and other materials.
This publication presents the first quantitative assessment of the impact of climate change on a protected area in Mongolia and helps identify adaptation measures to build climate resilience for biodiversity conservation, livelihoods, and tourism.
This case study captures Nagpur city’s efforts in understanding the energy performance and identifying the potential and opportunities for energy efficiency actions. An approach for benchmarking and prioritization of buildings for action was tested and established by the city.
