IN LINE WITH GREEN ECONOMY

o Sustainably manage natural capital

o Establish frameworks for achieving water and energy security within regional boundaries (CP)

o Approach a low carbon, resource efficient, and socially inclusive approach to development

o emphasize (a) protection and investment in natural capital, and (b) stronger regulatory frameworks at all scales national and regional


LESSONS LEARNT• Secured land tenure for community based rattan

management• Change can take place but need time as well as synergies of

actions• Sustainable supply chain to succeed need appropriate policy

support and enforcement• Should not ignore the regional perspective as supply chain

cross border• Establish enabling environment (NTFP trade policy, subsidy,

micro-financing, etc.) to encourage community enterprise

• Links rattan sites to REDD, Payment for Environmental Service, Eco-tourism, etc.


CONCLUSION

• Value and supply chain approach can make a difference at community and national level and add value to natural capital and national economy

• Market demand for green and clean product is increasing

• Certification is market based mechanism that are needed to ensure market access

• Regional linkages are key – together things can change


- WWF seeks economies that value and effectively govern natural (resources to safeguard the natural world while promoting pro-poor growth and employment).

-Some key ask for governments to shift toward GE:(1) Sustainably manage and invest in natural capital,

(2) Use full cost accounting (e.g., of ecosystem services) to provide economic incentives for GE and Improve governance, e.g., via greater regional cooperation

-WWF is helping the Vietnam government convene a workshop on GE that will focus on investments in natural capital and opportunities for regional collaboration - a GE roadmap - that can help the countries demonstrate their leadership in Rio
