Asia-Pacific Forum
for Environment and Development (APFED), a regional
group of eminent experts operating since its establishment in 2001,
aims to address critical issues facing Asia and the Pacific region and
to propose new models for equitable and sustainable development of the
region.
A
grant of up to US$30,000 will be provided under the programme
to support the showcasing of innovative policies, approaches,
measures and actions for promoting sustainable development
in the region with a view to facilitating the implementation
of the 2004 APFED I Final Report recommendations.
"The Ryutaro Hashimoto APFED Awards for Good Practices" aims at promoting information dissemination of good practices towards sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region.
The awards will be given to organisations in recognition of practices that have made outstanding contributions in promoting environmental management and sustainable development in the region.
ESD and 3Rs must be promoted not at the national level, but at the regional and global level. At the dialogue, a wide range of policy makers, experts and stakeholders candidly exchanged views and experiences with a view to facilitate policies, measures and actions effective to pursue sustainable development through ESD and 3Rs.
NetRes,
an Asia-Pacific regional network of policy research institutes
for environmental management and sustainable development,
is aimed at promoting collaboration among research institutes
to provide strategic advice, support and recommendations
to facilitate the development and implementation of policies,
programmes and activities in pursuit of environmental management
and sustainable development.
