Tourism brings economic development as well as cultural and social benefits, but its growth has also significantly increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, pressure on energy and water resources, and the creation of waste. This poses a threat to the environment and to Saint Lucia as a viable and desirable tourism product. This action plan is for policymakers, destination planners and managers, and private sector industry stakeholders. It explains how to make the accommodation value chain more sustainable, reducing the negative impacts of tourism, such as marine pollution and environmental degradation, and its high demands on natural resources. ​​​​​​
This report showcases 13 projects covering eight fields, namely, biodiversity and ecosystem, clean energy, clean water, sustainable transportation, solid waste treatment, sustainable consumption and production, green buildings, and corporate social responsibility.
Cambodia is one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia, with an average annual GDP growth rate of 7.7% between 1995 and 2018. The overall objective of this study is to develop an investment project proposal that can facilitate the deployment of electric motorcycles (EM) in Cambodia and contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions in the transport sector

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 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.
