Enhancing Green Economy in 3 countries of Asia

Description

"The three targeted countries present real challenges to sustainability that future experts in applying green economy can contribute to mitigate. India’s progression to a greener economy is lagging behind expectations. India has recently been pointed as a bad student in environment by being ranked 155 out of 178 countries far behind other BRICS countries. A recent WHO survey indicated that 13 out of the world’s 20 most polluted cities can be found in India. In Nepal, government attempts to alleviate impacts of Climate changes and environmental protection does not address the benefits of a Green Economy. 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. Adding all modules together partners will be able to create MA program after accreditation.8 Green Economy Labs providing 5 courses (online, offline) on Green Economy to business, environment agencies and other HEIs to create a community of Green Economy practitioners.10 PR and marketing specialists formed with leadership skills to convey green behaviour in kindergarden & schools"
