This is due, among other things, to the lack of specialists. Only one research center and associated partner (CGDE) is producing research on green economy issues for Nepal. In Kyrgyzstan, the transition to sustainable development is an urgent necessity, since at present, the country's socio-economic development is largely based on the consumption of natural resources. Green economy is recognised in the recent National Strategy for sustainable development of the Kyrgyz Republic. However, along with the state commitment to establishment an inclusive green economy for the country's strategic sustainable development plans, an urgent need is to promote this initiative from below to disseminate information on resource saving and the priorities of the ""green economy"" in the education system of KG.Milestones: 5 modules of 15 ECTS on green economy from multiple approaches (business, management, economics, law and environmental studies) + 1 interdisciplinary module on green economy in practice.
