This Guidance aims to provide a methodology for countries to identify plastic leakage ‘hotspots’, find their impacts along the entire plastic value chain, and then prioritise effective actions to stop the leakage at each hotspot.
The UNEP LIRA Guidance offers suggestions on ways to establish both chemicals control legislation and institutional capacity.
This publication was initiated by the Energy and Climate Change Leadership Group of the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) to demonstrate how the chemical industry can contribute to achieving this low-carbon society.
A small benefit of the disastrous COVID-19 pandemic has been the temporary reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, this paper asks: what strategies can return people to work without returning to the old high-emissions economy? How can we modify the old economic system to reduce environmental impacts while rebuilding employment?
There is no pathway to keep global warming to less than 1.5°C without abating emissions in industrial supply chains. This will require adequate data, and the best way to provide this is to standardize carbon accounting across the variety of protocols, platforms, and standards that exist today.
The main purpose of this publication is to demonstrate, via robust and quantified examples, that solutions enabled by chemical products can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions savings.
This paper discusses the opportunities and challenges for green businesses in Asia and the Pacific. It also identifies the market motivations, regulatory and nonregulatory mechanisms, and implications for companies.
This report explores how regional trade agreements (RTAs) can serve as a vehicle to reflect environmental objectives in chapters and articles dealing with technical barriers to trade and regulatory co-operation.
This report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) highlights the crucial role of quality infrastructure (QI) for the development of smart renewable mini-grids.
This report provides holistic syntheses of the climate legal and policy frameworks of 32 countries in Asia and the Pacific and discusses key legislative trends and climate-relevant constitutional rights.
