  1. Regional Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Demonstration ComponentEaP GREEN Program Malkhaz Adeishvili National Coordinator in Georgia 26 June, 2014

  2. EaP GREEN – European Commission’s Program to Support Greening of Economies in Eastern Partnership Countries • Regional programme including six Eastern Partnership countries • Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine • Aims at supporting transition to green economy in the beneficiary countries • Multi-partner implementation: OECD, UNECE, UNEP, UNIDO • Multi-donor financing • European Union – the main donor; • Additional funds provided by Austrian Development Bank, Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Switzerland, and the above four partner organisations • 4 years implementation period as of January 2013 • 12.5 million Euros total estimated budget, including a 10 million Euros contribution from the European Union

  3. Programme goals and components COMPONENT 1: GOVERNANCE AND FINANCING TOOLS Mainstream sustainable consumption and production into national development strategies COMPONENT 2: USE OF SEA AND EIA AS PLANNING TOOLS Promote the use of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) COMPONENT 3: DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS IN SUPPORT OF CORPORATE ACTION Apply sustainable consumption and production practices in selected economic sectors (agriculture and manufacturing) OVERALL OBJECTIVE Enable countries of Eastern Partnership to move towards a green economy

  4. Green Growth and Economy Green Economy An approach for achieving sustainable development by (1) reducing emissions and pollution and increasing resource efficiency and (2) improving access to energy, food, water, sanitation and other services (UN-EMG) Green Growth Fostering economic growth and development while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services on which our well-being relies (OECD) Green Industry is the sector-strategy for realization of Green Growth & Green Economy in manufacturing and related sectors

  5. Green Industry • Greening of Industry • Continuous improvement of resource productivity and environmental performance of industries in all sectors • Cleaner Production • Energy Efficiency • Chemicals Management • Etc. • Creating Green Industries • Industrial supply of environmental goods and services • Waste management • Resource recovery • Renewable energy • Etc.

  6. Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) • Continuous application of preventive environmental strategies to processes products and services to increase efficiency and reduce risks to humans and the environment • Cleaner Production Concept and Methodology originated in 1990-ies • Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production introduced by UNEP and UNIDO in 2008 • RECP addresses three sustainability dimensions:

  7. Good Housekeeping Input Material Change Better Process Control Equipment Modification RESOURCE EFFICIENT AND CLEANER PRODUCTION Technology Change On-site Recovery and Reuse Production of Useful By-Products Product Modification RECP Techniques and Technology

  8. Benefits of RECP • Reduced costs through more efficient use of resources • Improved environment • Improved workers’ health and safety • Improved image of companies • Improved relationship with customers and stakeholders

  9. EaP RECP Demonstrations Component Component specific objectives: • Human and Institutional Capacity Development • Demonstration, Dissemination and Replication • Technology Support
