Asia and the Pacific – economic development, resources
consumption, climate change/natural disasters
 Rapid Economic Development (together with unplanned urbanization + rapid
industrialization);
 At the cost of high resources & energy (esp. fossil fuel) consumption, high GHG
emissions, etc.); high water withdrawal; Less per capita water availability;
 Increased water pollution (due to release of industrial as well as domestic/urban
untreated wastewater); climate change/increased extreme weather events: floods
and droughts…….; Uneven distribution of fresh water due to change in rain fall
pattern;
 Region-high natural disaster prone– loss of lives (75%) and properties (80%
economic loss) in 2011 – APDR, 2010
 Grow first, clean up later - unsustainable development path; Need to move from
current brown growth to green growth pattern/from current unsustainable path to a
sustainable path.

Natural Disaster Frequency and its Impact in the Philippines
 Although total frequency of natural
disasters has decreased from 2009 to
2012, total number of people affected
by floods and storms in the same
periods has extremely increased by
urbanization.

Eco-efficiency
The dominant paradigm of centralized
infrastructure development depended on
exploitation of natural resources.
 unsustainable
A fundamental shift in the management
and use of resources is required.
 Eco-efficiency
Eco-efficiency = economic efficiency + ecological efficiency

It means creating more goods and services withgreen-growth-roadmap-asia-and-pacific
ever less use of
resources while creating less waste and pollution.

Green and Resilient Schools
School: home for children – sustainable and progressive
future of a country, depends on them;
Schools – serves as shelters for the people (often poor)
during major disasters;
Schools – promote awareness on the importance of
constructing eo-efficient and disaster resilient schools and
houses/buildings;
Schools – serve as important component of urban
infrastructure development, in the Philippines.

Key elements of the KECF project
- Established in 1987, the Korea-ESCAP Cooperation Fund
(KECF) is an important instrument to enable ESCAP to
build national capacities in Asia and the Pacific.
- As one of the key activities in the KECF, the project
entitled “Pilot implementation of the low carbon green
growth roadmap for Asia and the Pacific” has been
proposed. (targeting: Mongolia, Nepal, Philippines and
ASEAN countries);
- Beneficiaries: National, regional as well as local policy makers from
relevant ministries such as, environment, urban development, local
government authorities
