PAGE Countries

The following PAGE countries have all met a minimum set of criteria, set out by the PAGE Secretariat, and have been selected to be officially included in the Partnership as PAGE Countries. These countries receive direct support from PAGE to advance their green economy policies and projects.

Mongolia

Over the past 25 years, Mongolia has transformed into a vibrant democracy. With vast agricultural and mineral resources and an increasingly educated population, the country is quickly moving towards its long-term development goals. At the same time, it faces significant environmental threats, including land degradation, air and water pollution and increasing carbon dioxide emissions.

Confronted with these challenges, the country is firmly committed to alternative growth. PAGE work in Mongolia commenced in 2013, with its first action to support the conception of the National Green Development Policy (NGDP). Focused on environmental sustainability and socially inclusive development, this Policy sets clear goals to support the country’s green economy transition.

Since then, PAGE work has culminated in several achievements including: the integration of IGE goals and targets into national economic and development planning; sectoral and thematic reforms in green buildings and construction, green finance, waste management and sustainable procurement; and strengthened institutional capacity of government institutions, the media, universities, research institutes and businesses.

The work in Mongolia has contributed to several Sustainable Development Goals, including:

Peru

Peru has an abundance of natural resources that serve as the backbone of its economy, but decades of resource-driven growth have degraded the environment, resulting in water and air pollution, soil erosion and deforestation. This has affected all segments of society, particularly the most vulnerable. In recent years, Peru has made significant efforts to offset the balance between economic growth and environmental preservation and build sustainability as a driver into its national policy framework.

PAGE commenced work in Peru in 2014, with the aim of promoting the efficient use of resources, environmental quality, and green jobs creation. PAGE has since supported the integration of green growth into national planning, assisted the implementation of green sectoral and thematic policies and built both individual and institutional capacity to support long-term change. In 2018, Peru reached an important milestone with the approval of its National Competitiveness and Productivity Policy that includes a chapter on sustainability.

PAGE work has resulted in several achievements, including: the approval of national-level green policies to boost competitiveness and productivity; sectoral and thematic reforms in green jobs, green industry, teleworking and urban transport; the introduction of Inclusive Green Economy (IGE) courses into national curricula and strengthened capacity on forward-looking policy analysis.

This has contributed to several Sustainable Development Goals, including:

Senegal

Senegal has established itself as one of West Africa’s economic hubs and has made significant strides towards improving the well-being of its population. Nevertheless, with approximately 50 per cent of its territory classified as semi-arid, the country is especially vulnerable to climate change. As a large share of the population relies heavily on natural capital for their livelihood, transitioning to a green and inclusive economy can offer multiple benefits for reducing poverty, building resilience and creating jobs.

Recognizing the importance of sustainability, Senegal adopted the “Plan Senegal Emergent” (PSE) in 2014, bolstered by a National Strategy for Sustainable Development. In this context, Senegal requested PAGE support in early 2014, with assistance focusing on operationalizing the PSE and its five-year Priority Action Plan (PAP 2014-2018). Since 2018, the PSE II and the second PAP (2019-2023) have become specific areas of attention.

PAGE work has culminated in several achievements, including: supporting the integration of Inclusive Green Economy (IGE) into national policies; shaping sectoral and thematic reforms across green jobs, sustainable construction, waste management, green industry and sustainable use of revenues from oil and gas; and fostering ingenuity and entrepreneurship to support green growth.

The work in Senegal has contributed to several Sustainable Development Goals, including:

Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso has one of the lowest carbon emissions and ecological footprints in Sub-Saharan Africa, with GDP growth continuing to rise. However, it faces persistent challenges in the form of limited natural resources, high poverty levels and heavy reliance on agriculture.

In light of this, the Government has taken forward several initiatives, demonstrating its commitment to sustainable development – including the National Adaptation Plan, with climate change positioned as a high-ranking goal.

In 2014, PAGE was requested to support the development of a National Green Economy Strategy (SNEV) to serve as the backbone of the country’s green economy transition and contribute to the National Plan for Economic and Social Development (PNDES 2016-2020). Several macroeconomic and sectoral assessments were conducted to inform the Strategy, including the Green Economy Assessment that identified priority sectors for green investment.

PAGE work has since culminated in several achievements, including: adoption of the SNEV; sectoral and thematic reforms in green trade, green industry, green taxation and sustainable agriculture; establishment of a green economy master’s degree programme; and support to green entrepreneurs.

The work has contributed to several Sustainable Development Goals, including:

Ghana

Ghana has achieved strong economic growth over the past two decades, reducing poverty and improving social indicators. The 2006-2009 food, fuel and financial crisis prompted the government to transition to focus on sustainable growth. This was recognized in the 2010 publication “Ghana Goes for Green Growth”, together with the National Energy Policy that included a strategy for renewable energies.

The 2013 National Climate Change Policy, which envisages a climate-compatible economy, provided an entry point for PAGE engagement in 2014. The subsequent Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda II (2014-2017) and National Medium-Term Development Policy Framework (2018-2021) further demonstrated Ghana’s commitment to a green economy. With PAGE support, the government has worked towards reframing its economic policy through innovative reforms, incentives, partnerships, business models and investments in green technologies.

PAGE work has culminated in several achievements, including the mainstreaming of IGE into national planning; inclusion of climate change education in basic schools; completion of thematic reforms in sustainable finance, green jobs and resource efficiency; and institutional capacity building and national ownership.

The work in Ghana has contributed to several Sustainable Development Goals, including:

Mauritius

Mauritius has transformed into a diversified upper middle-income economy, benefitting from dynamic industrial, financial and tourism sectors and high levels of human development. However, increased economic activity has adversely affected the environment. Marine and air pollution coupled with the island’s vulnerability to climate change have made it essential for Mauritius to build a resource-efficient and resilient economy.

In addition to the Mauritius National Vision, a Three Year Strategic Plan 2017-2020, entitled “Rising to the Challenge of our Ambitions” was launched in June 2017. Within this plan, green economy was highlighted as an approach to implementing low-carbon growth in key sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing, waste management and tourism.

Since 2014, PAGE has supported the government to pursue its vision, with a focus on building capacity for the issuance of green bonds, providing guidance on social policies, reviewing and tracking public environment expenditures, assessing industrial waste and related industrial strategies and advancing green economy learning. A significant contribution was towards the Marshall Plan Against Poverty, including the Marshall Plan Social Contract, which provides assistance to households at risk of extreme poverty.

The work in Mauritius has contributed to several Sustainable Development Goals, including:

Barbados

Barbados is one of the most prosperous states in the Caribbean. Nevertheless, the negative effects of recent global financial and economic crises, together with a dependency on imported fossil fuels, have placed pressure on the country's economy and environment. Limited access to natural resources, coupled with its vulnerability to climate change, underline the importance of increasing Barbados' economic, social and ecological resilience.

Recognizing these challenges, the Government has made strong commitments to sustainable development through long and medium-term strategic frameworks, a Social Compact with the private sector and trade unions, and a National Sustainable Development Policy. Its National Strategic Plan (2006-2025) speaks specifically of “Building a Green Economy: Strengthening the Physical Infrastructure and Preserving the Environment”.

Barbados joined PAGE in 2016, with the purpose of supporting the implementation of the National Strategic Plan and its green economy objectives. Following general elections that were held in 2018, a new administration took office and the PAGE programme in Barbados was realigned to the new government’s priorities.

China, Jiangsu Province

In 2015, China joined PAGE at the provincial level via Jiangsu Province. Located on the eastern coast, Jiangsu province is home to approximately 80 million people and is the second richest province in the country. Characterized by a dense network of rivers, lakes and waterways, it has a strong resource base but is faced by several challenges, including high population, environmental degradation, and a heavy reliance on industry.

Jiangsu has demonstrated commitment to green economy by:

Fostering green and high-tech industries;
Shifting towards energy saving and resource-efficient production and consumption models;
Redefining the eco-redlines of conservation zones; and
Enhancing the policy monitoring, coordination and evaluation of green development progress;
The 13th Five-Year Development Plan (2016-2020) of Jiangsu formally established these as top priorities.

Jiangsu was the first province to release a provincial plan on Ecological Civilisation Construction (2013-2022). This foresees the greening of industrial parks as a means for achieving clean and circular production, setting the target for all provincial-level industrial parks to meet the national Eco-park standard by 2022.

PAGE has been supporting Jiangsu with capacity building, macro-level green economy policy monitoring and sectoral policy advisory services in green industrial development, green jobs and green trade, with phase-out planned in 2020.

South Africa

South Africa has benefitted from high levels of industrialisation and abundant natural resources. It has also made considerable strides towards improving the well-being of its citizens. However, economic growth has slowed in recent years and South Africa still grapples with inequality, poverty, and unemployment. Furthermore, industrialisation, coupled with exploitation of natural resources, has resulted in a large ecological footprint.

South Africa has identified green economy as a national priority through its 2010 New Growth Path and subsequent Green Economy Accord of 2011. The 2012 National Development Plan 2030, strengthened the government’s ability to respond to the impacts of climate change. Moreover, the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (2014-19) provided an action plan for realising the country’s national development vision.

Given the comprehensive policy framework already in place when South Africa joined the partnership in 2015, PAGE work has been structured around improving coordination, deepening collaboration and supporting policy implementation. PAGE has also helped to identify priority sectors and strengthened capabilities through green economy learning.

These activities have culminated in several achievements, including creating social dialogue on Just Transition and accelerating reforms related to green industry, green economy progress measurement, trade, water and renewable energy.

This has contributed to several Sustainable Development Goals, including:

Uruguay

Uruguay has demonstrated economic growth as well as high levels of human development. Simultaneously, its open economy remains vulnerable to oscillations in the global market. Exports rely primarily on agriculture and livestock that are intense in the use of natural resources. To address these challenges, the government is committed to green economy in pursuit of higher income, better wealth distribution, job creation and poverty reduction.

Several national planning processes have been completed, including a National Development Strategy - Uruguay 2050, aNational Agenda of Infrastructure, and theNational Environmental Plan for Sustainable Development. The government has also created the National Planning Directorate to advise on strategic action for the country’s long-term sustainable development.

Since joining in 2017, PAGE has helped to inform these planning processes, working to strengthen capacity to assess the impact of environmental policies, enhance public-private collaboration and raise awareness. On a thematic and sectoral level, PAGE work has focused on supporting operationalisation of circular economy concepts. Circular economy was mainstreamed into the overarching programme Transforma Uruguay – focused on promoting a productive transformation of the country’s economy and supported by a National Circular Economy Action Plan.Work has also been pursued on green and productive services, greening of enterprises, waste valorisation and land use tensions.

Argentina

Argentina is the third largest economy in Latin America and an upper middle-income country with a well-diversified economy. However, it has recently experienced a slowdown in economic progress and a rise in unemployment. Against this background, the country recognizes the need to pursue economic reforms to facilitate growth, stimulate employment and promote sustainability, with important structural challenges to overcome on the road to IGE.

Argentina has demonstrated a commitment to sustainability on an international scale, including promoting the sustainability agenda during its G20 Presidency of 2018. On a national level, Congress recently approved the Minimum Standard Law on Climate Change, setting standards for climate protection in policy strategies for different sectors and a law on prohibiting use of microplastic in cosmetic and housekeeping products.

Argentina joined PAGE in 2018, to support advancement of IGE with a focus on the following: governance; technical analysis to inform policymaking; vocational training to support labour market transition; and sustainable productive development and finance for technological innovation, including fiscal incentives, sustainable public procurement schemes and sustainable financial instruments.

Morocco

Situated in one of the most arid areas of the world, Morocco is especially vulnerable to climate change, with highly variable rainfall and recurrent droughts producing environmental, social and economic consequences. Faced with increases in energy and food prices, depletion of natural resources, high youth unemployment, growing social inequality, and slowing GDP growth, Morocco has recognized the importance of reframing economic policies around sustainability.

The Moroccan government has already started to roll out several green economy initiatives relating to renewable energy, energy efficiency, water and waste management, sustainable agriculture and aquaculture, and eco-tourism. Additional efforts are envisaged around green fiscal reform, green finance, job creation, capacity building and innovation, all with a view to mobilise the potential of partnerships with the private sector.

Morocco’s commitment to IGE transition is outlined in its National Sustainable Development Plan (SNDD) that aims to reconcile economic growth, social inclusion, protection and enhancement of the environment by 2030. Adopted in 2017, the SNDD follows recognition that sustainable development is a right for all citizens in the Moroccan 2011 Constitution and the adoption of a National Charter for the Environment and Sustainable Development.

It is in this context that Morocco applied to join PAGE in 2019. Following a new government taking office in October 2019, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reconfirmed the Government’s support to starting a collaboration with PAGE.

Thailand

Thailand has recorded strong growth in recent decades, but this has come at a high environmental cost. The forests are being depleted, soil fertility is being lost, and biodiversity is threatened. High pollution emissions, inadequate treatment of waste and water pollution are affecting quality of life and resulting in economic cost. Unsustainable production and consumption patterns from the industrial sector is a source of many of these environmental issues.

Thailand’s green growth development model (under “Sufficiency Economy Philosophy”) is deep-rooted in the National Strategy 2018-2036 that acts as an overarching guide for national development and a framework for international cooperation.

Furthermore, the 12th National Economic and Social Development Plan (NESDP) 2017-2021 envisions prosperity, sustainability and happiness, whilst simultaneously promoting SDG implementation together with NDC climate change commitments. It sets priorities around green jobs creation, green tourism, green cities, green businesses and sustainable

finance, to combat the severe environmental challenges faced by the country. The Government has also set an ambitious goal of increasing renewable energy to 30 percent of the energy mix, and reducing energy intensity by 30 percent by 2036, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20-25 percent by 2030.

Against this backdrop, Thailand joined PAGE at the end of 2019 to support green economic transition and achievement of the targets set out in the National Development Plan. Following general elections in 2019, the new government has reconfirmed its commitment to join PAGE.
