Priorities & Mandate on Green
Economy and SCP
At Rio+20, Central Asia five countries welcomed
the transition towards Green Economy
Green Economy is ICSD’s programmatic focus.
Next steps are to identify regional priorities for
Central Asia transition to a green economy
Central Asian national strategies highlights the
needs to address: resource and energy
efficiency, agriculture, waste management &
emphasizes the importance to improve regulatory
and financial policies.
Approaches
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Inter-governmental and multi-stakeholder dialogues
Inter-ministerial coordination at national level
Assessment (on GE, resource use hotspots, SCP)
Policy Frameworks & Instruments
Human capital and skills development support
Knowledge sharing
Indicators to measure progress
Macro economic approach
Assessment & quantitative modeling
-Identify key opportunities
-Demonstrate socio-economic & environmental benefits
(job creation, GHG reduction, resource efficiency)
-Demonstrate required investment and returns
-Policy assessment: identify gaps for enabling policies
Example --- Serbia's modelling assessment
provides elements for a green economy roadmap
With the right green investments, Serbia could generate
new jobs and significant savings by adopting a green
economy approach compared to business-as-usual. A
report provides an overview of the country's economic
sectors, and focuses on energy and agriculture.
Strategic policy frameworks
-Development of policies:
- strategic policy framework,
- fiscal reforms & regulatory policies …
-Policy dialogue: national and regional levels
-Technical support for development of policy and
measures
-Capacity Development for design and
implementation of policies
Partners: Ministries, researchers, business, civil society, intergovernmental agencies
Thematic areas of work
•Manufacturing industry and private sector capacity building
•Energy Efficiency of Building & Lighting,
•Waste management/business
•Sustainable Agriculture
•Sustainable Public Procurement
•Trades
•Consumer information
•Green Jobs
•Finance
Manufacturing and private
sectors
Resource Efficient Clearner Production & Eco-innovation – to
green the production process and green the products
•Assessment (enabling market and policy conditions,
readiness of private sectors) – focusing agro-processing, metal
processing and chemicals
•Capacity Building
•Pilot initiatives -- targetting SMEs
•Eco-labeling, Sustainability reporting
Partners: Ministry of Industry, Economy, Environment, Cleaner
production & technology centres, Chambers of Commerce,
industry association, research institute, RECPnet
Building
Commercial and public buildings account for 30-40%
of energy consumption. Improve energy efficiency of
building lead to the green the supply chain &
greener technology
•Assessment, policy advice, best practices, using
tools developed under Sustainable Building &
Climate Initiative (UNEP-SBCI) and the Sustainable
Social Housing Initiative (SUSHI). with support from
SBC programme of the 10YFP.
Partners: Ministries, local authorities business, civil
society, schools, etc. Covenant of Mayors (East)
Energy Efficient Lighting &
appliances
Replacing all inefficient lighting would save electricity
consumption by 5% … means also save electricity bills
•Policy assessment, market assessment, capacity building
using tools developed under en.lighten initiative
•Demonstration activities
•Awareness raising
Partners: Ministry of Energy, Environment, business, local
authorities, civil society, schools, etc.
Sustainable agriculture:
Sustainable agriculture increases farm yields between 69179%. A 10% increase in farm yield can reduce poverty by 5%
in Asia and 7% in Africa - much higher than poverty reduction
resulting from increase in productivity in manufacturing or
services sector. (A study by University of Essex)
•Policies and institutional mechanisms to promote and regulate
organic production and marketing:
•Enhance the capacity of farms and other stakeholdoers along
the supply chain: re-profilling, sustainable farm management
practices
•Sector analysis and feasibility studies to identify product
groups
•Pilot initiatives to demonstrate profitability and sustainability of
sustainable/organic agriculture methods
Partners: Ministry of Agriculture, Environment, Farmers
association, extension service provider, FAO, Civil society
Sustainable Public Procurement
Public spending normally represents 10 - 20 % of national
GDP in Central Asia. Every purchase is an opportunity to
drive markets towards innovation and sustainability.

Waste
Central Asia is facing serious waste problems posing
threats to ecosystems and human health. Improving
waste management also provides opportunities: material
recovery, business opportunities, etc..
•

•
Strengthen waste data collection
Sound policy development
Integrated solid waste management
Identification of opportunities for material recovery
and business
• E-Waste management
• Training
• Demonstration activities
Partner: Ministry of Economy, Environment, Finance, local
authorities
Finance
Strengthen banking sectors capacity to respond to needs
to financing green economy/sustainable consumption and
production is needed.
• Regional Sustainable Banking Platform
• Dialogue between regulators (policy makers)
and regulated
• Dissemination of global stands and best
practices, tools and methodologies adapted to
Central Asian context
• Capacity building for implementation of
sustainable banking policies and regulations
