Korea's green ODA and global development initiatives

Greening ODA is one of Korea’s key agendas. In 2008 the government established the USD 200 million East Asia Climate Partnership (EACP) Initiative, covering 2008 to 2012. The EACP includes 29 projects in 5 areas of green growth: water management, low-carbon energy, low-carbon cities, waste treatment, and forestation and biomass.
