An assessment was conducted by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) to identify Myanmar's specific opportunities and barriers in relation to green growth in six sectors.
The assessment found that Myanmar performs well in several areas, included in eco-friendly growth, namely indicators representing aspects such as fish stocks, water stress, natural resources depletion, and endangered species, compared to other lower-middle-income countries. Regarding climate resilient growth, Myanmar also performs well on measures of carbon intensity and CO2 emission growth. However, Myanmar scores significantly lower than its peers when it comes to assessing the quality of natural assets, as measured by air quality, soil health, water quality, and forest cover change.
In this context, this summary report provides an overview of recommendations relevant for Myanmar's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) implementation, focusing on related recommendations for agriculture, forestry and land use, energy, and education and governance.
