Greening Economies in the Eastern Neighbourhood A means for Ea. P countries to progress faster on their path to green economy.
Ea. P GREEN Helps the Ea. P countries to move towards a green economy by decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation and resource depletion through: Mainstreaming sustainable consumption and production (SCP) into national development plans, legislation and regulatory frameworks; Promoting the use of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) ; Achieving a sector-level shift to green economy. Expected outcomes: • higher productivity thus competitiveness in global markets, • better management of natural capital, • enhanced environmental quality of life, • more resilient ecosystems and economies alike, and • new business and export opportunities.

Switch. Med SCP-NAP process and outputs SWITCH-Med Programme is funded by the European Union 7
SCP Assessments Ø Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine and Tunisia; Ø Multi-stakeholder processes (gov. , civil society, private sector, media, academia, international community) - validated during technical national workshops; Ø Jordan used national GE report as the basis for developing the SCP national action plan, addressing national priorities identified in this study, avoiding duplication of work load. 8
SCP- National Action Plans: Ø SCP assessments are integral part of the SCP-NAP process; Ø The stakeholders involved in the SCP assessment process are also involved in designing the SCP-NAP, enabling some overlap of these processes to save time; Ø SCP-NAPs have been developed and validated in Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia and Palestine. 9
Outputs: Ø SCP-NAPs based on assessments; Ø More than 25 multi-stakeholder national SCP workshops and roundtables organized; Ø National capacity on SCP reinforced, engaging over 1500 participants from different ministries, public and private sector, civil society, academia, media, international organizations and bi-lateral partners; Ø High-level political support for the process resulting in endorsement of the SCP-NAP output. 10
Algeria SCP governance framework; Energy transition and energy efficiency; Waste and emission management; Lebanon -Adopt best available techniques to promote SCP in industrial sector -Introduce SCP approaches related to the industrial sector in policy and institutional frameworks; -Educate and raise awareness of consumers on SCP in industrial sector; Morocco - Palestine -Sustainable Tourism; -Agriculture and food (including food manufacturing); -Housing and construction Agriculture and agrifood; Eco-construction and sustainable buildings; Tunisia 11 10 year framework action plan for the agrifood sector; 10 year framework action plan for the tourism sector; coordination mechanism for SCP-NAP implementation;
Egypt • National Green Economy report as the basis; • outcomes of the economic modelling for the GE assessment developed and adapted to become the foundation for SCP-NAP; • SCP-NAP identified the main elements for each of the four priority sectors (agriculture, energy, water and municipal solid waste), strategic directions and proposed activities; • 28 projects presented by 13 different entities and presented in details in the SCP-NAP; • as demonstration project Egypt has decided to implement an adapted version of a Public Procurement Project that was developed as a response to the 10 YFP trust fund. 12
Jordan • Development of SCP-NAP was based on the existing national Green Economy report that is the result of the GE scoping study conducted in 2011 and covering 6 sectors; • SCP-NAP targeted three sectors: Agriculture / Food Production, Transport, and Waste Management ; • High Level Green Economy Steering Committee (HLGESC) and ad-hoc Green Economy/SCP committee reporting to HLGESC was created and a Green Economy Unit in Ministry of Environment; • UNEP coordinated “eco-innovation” project is currently being implemented and is in-line with the Jordanian SCP-NAP; • Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) to integrate Green Economy and SCP in sectors for comprehensive National Green Growth Strategy and work-plan. 13
