In the context of the 2012 East Asia Climate Partnership (EACP) programme, the OECD has engaged in a 2-year horizontal project, whose overarching objective is to help promote green growth in selected ASEAN* countries, in line with the region’s development objectives. Building on the OECD expertise on green growth, this work will follow up on the OECD Green Growth framework and the OECD Development Strategy, which will be tailored to the specificities of ASEAN economies. |

1/ The first chapter will set the scene and review the main economic, social and environmental trends in the last decade in ASEAN economies. New empirical analysis on greening productivity would also be presented.
2/ The second chapter will examine how green growth strategy can be best incorporated into national development plans, which represent an important facet of economic policy in emerging and developing Asia. The chapter will discuss how to enhance policy coherence and local administration capacity and how to develop tools to design green-growth policies and monitor implementation progress. |
3/ The third chapter will examine how to achieve a sustainable use of water, land and energy, in the context of growing energy and food demands. In particular, the chapter will seek to identify ways to increase agricultural water use efficiency and reduce energy subsidies. It will also look at the issues of reversing recent deforestation trends and how to best protect biodiversity.
4/ The fourth chapter will review the challenges stemming from rapid urbanisation, in particular those are important for improving the quality of life. A special focus will be devoted to urban transportation, which is currently in dire condition in most ASEAN countries and whose network fails to meet demand needs. As ASEAN countries are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters, the chapter will also look at ways to enhance resilience to extreme events.
