Report: Unveiling a Green Economy in Myanmar

Sub-title: 

WWF’s Green Economy Programme in Myanmar 2018-2021

Description: 

"The foundations for a green economy – that will support people, nature and economic development in Myanmar - have been laid. WWF has played an instrumental role in highlighting natural capital values through Myanmar’s first natural capital assessment, identifying green economy investments through the development of Myanmar’s Green Economy Policy Framework, and developing initial policies for sustainable economic development in Myanmar. WWF is now positioned to raise green economy to the next stage, at the policy level as well as in our priority landscapes. Our vision is to see the true values of Myanmar’s nature acknowledged and reflected in government policies, commercial investments, and smallholder development - resulting in sustainable development that ‘bends the curve’ for biodiversity, forests, rivers, and mangroves, and makes Myanmar a more climate resilient country. We want to see a future where Myanmar’s intact forests are conserved and degraded areas are restored, where wildlife increase in numbers, and where people’s livelihoods are better and their benefits from nature secured..."
