Working together towards a greener GMS

In 2006, the six countries of the Greater Mekong Subregion - Cambodia, People's Republic of China, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand and Viet Nam agreed to enter into a regional collaboration on the environment. The collaboration is facilitated by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and is implemented as the Core Environment Program and Biodiversity Conservation Corridors Initiative (CEP-BCI). With national and regional activities in the areas of biodiversity conservation, land use planning, strategic environmental assessments, climate change, environmental performance assessments, energy and capacity development, the aim is to strengthen national strategies on natural resources management and supplement with regional linkages. The goal is a poverty-free, ecologically rich Greater Mekong Subregion.

Highlights
