The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) published in October 2009 a report entitled “Greening Growth in Asia and the Pacific.”
The report follows up on the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) by identifying actions that could be taken to implement the Regional Implementation Plan for Sustainable Development in Asia and the Pacific, 2006-2010. It identifies policy options and approaches that could expand economies while simultaneously improving welfare, reducing poverty and protecting natural capital.
