About the product

Development strategies in the Asia and the Pacific region are heavily focused on fostering economic growth and do not always focus on the detrimental environmental effects of the modalities used to implement the strategy. Focusing on Fiji, Nepal, Philippines and Tonga, this publication presents empirical and analytical material on the institutional mechanisms used by governments for the integration of environmental concerns into economic policy-making processes. It also discusses the effectiveness of the integration measures used, multilateral agreements in effect, and the monitoring mechanisms and enforcement systems.
