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..."
