Strengthening the Environmental Dimensions of the Sustainable Development Goals in Asia and the Pacific: Stocktake of National Responses to Sustainable Development Goals 12, 14, and 15
This report presents the results of a stocktake of national responses to selected environment-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets in 15 Asian Development Bank (ADB) developing member countries (DMCs) from across Asia and the Pacific. The stocktake was completed under the first phase of an ADB technical assistance (TA) project on Supporting Implementation of Environment- Related Sustainable Development Goals in Asia and the Pacific. The TA project aims to help DMCs in Asia and the Pacific strengthen their responses to the environmental dimensions of the SDGs, notably SDG 12 on Responsible Consumption and Production, SDG 14 on Life below Water, and SDG 15 on Life on Land, and selected environment-related targets determined as having a direct relationship with responsible consumption and production, and sustainable marine and terrestrial ecosystems management. It seeks to ensure the SDGs’ environmental dimensions are not left behind in Asia and the Pacific.
