The infrastructure we build today will shape the way we produce and consume for decades to come. In an era of natural resource scarcity and rising prices, increasing vulnerability to natural disasters and climate change, infrastructure eco-efficiency has significant and long-term implications for our lives.
ESCAP is committed to assisting countries in the region in responding to these challenges through its activities, by analyzing current trends in infrastructure development in the region from a sustainability perspective, applying eco-efficiency and sustainability concepts to infrastructure development, reviewing emerging practices in developing sustainable infrastructure, and providing a forum for countries to share experiences and discuss pressing policy issues.
