Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar
Myanmar Environmental Safeguards Knowledge Sharing Workshop
Background
If current reforms in Myanmar continue, ADB estimates the country’s economy could expand by 7-8% per year. While this will greatly assist poverty reduction efforts, a major challenge for the country will be balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability – particularly as growth will be largely supported by the country’s rich endowment of natural resources.
