2. Intermediate results indicators
a. Trainings i. The workshop on green growth that took place on May 24th, 2012 enters into
the following categories of intermediate results: Training targeting stakeholders from the Ministry of Environment, Training targeting stakeholders from at least two Ministries, Training at regional level. The Beneficiaries have rated this Training on a scale from 1 to 4, with 4 representing the highest quality. Rates have been on average 3.5 for the organization of the Training, 3.1 for the content and 3.2 for the relevancy. These rates are very good for a first Training, but they are still slightly below the average 3.5 required in order to consider the Training “effective” as per the Project Implementation Manual.
b. Studies i. N/A
c. Hits to the Project Website i. The project website is currently being developed. In the meanwhile, a sub-site
dedicated to the ReGoKo has been established on the Plan Bleu website. This sub-site has attracted 358 views during the second quarter of 2012, and 1230 views from December 2011 to the end of June 2012.
d. Explanation of deviations from the targets i. Deviations from the targets will be analyzed at the end of year 1.

Project report 2nd quarter 2012 – 14/08/2012 6
Points of discussion:
Tour de table
1. Will be added to the agenda, as requested by Lamia Mansour: information on implementation and procurement procedures.
Programmatic framework
1. In the programmatic framework, the articulation between the Project components and the work axes needs to be clearer to avoid confusion. Plan Bleu will elaborate a new proposal on how to articulate work axes and components and submit it to the (potential) Beneficiaries. The Project Steering Committee approves the Beneficiaries’ strategy elaborated in the programmatic framework, but requests an amendment of Figure 1.
2. A clear line between the two components “Governance” and “Knowledge generation” cannot be drawn.
Work Plan
1. Activities will no longer be referred to as “E1”, “O1”, “E3” … Plan Bleu will find a new way to numerate the activities implemented under the Project.
2. Activity “Support for regional observatories of the environment and sustainable development (ROESD) in Morocco, and experience sharing with Tunisia (Morocco and Tunisia)”: Tunisia would like to be involved more actively in this activity, to improve the Tunisian environmental knowledge system in cooperation with the OTEDD. With Tunisian inputs, Plan Bleu will revise the activity’s design accordingly and submit it to the Beneficiaries for approval.
3. Activity “Preparation of a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for the new Water Sector Strategy (Lebanon)”: The SEA of the Water Sector strategy in Lebanon will require an international consultant to draft the ToR and to review the report once it will be finished. This will result in a higher budget required for this activity: around 250 000$. The Project Steering Committee agrees to raise the budget. The activity will leverage economies of scale that could occur while linking up with other existing WB initiatives or with other donors (program led by GIZ …). A regional seminar at the end of the activity will give other Mediterranean countries the opportunity to benefit from this activity.
4. Activity “Socio-economic evaluation of maritime activities (regional activity)”: Countries will inform Plan Bleu about related activities in their countries in order to avoid overlapping with other existing initiatives. Plan Bleu will include this information in the terms of references. The Project Steering Committee approves this activity. Since Plan Bleu was involved in that kind of activity before the start of the project, a waiver would be sought to ensure that it is compatible with GEF rules.
5. Activity “Realize environmental audits for key industries discharging along the Mediterranean coast (Lebanon)”: Lebanon is redesigning the activity request and activity fiche. Lamia Mansour will submit a new document to Plan Bleu within the next two weeks (before June 8th). Lebanon also requests a higher budget for this activity. This will be re-examined by the Project Steering Committee after the activity will be redesigned. It is to be kept in mind that this is a long activity that will need to be started soon, in order to be able to be finished before the end of the Project.
Project report 2nd quarter 2012 – 14/08/2012 7
6. Activity “Mediterranean Legal Network of Prosecutors and Investigators against Voluntary Marine Pollution (regional activity)”: REMPEC has to insure that the activity is really institutionalizing the network in the medium-long term.
7. Activity “Promotion of the effective involvement of local actors in the environmental management (Morocco and Tunisia)”: 6 collaborative application sites will be implemented. Tunisia suggests to also focus on at least one region in the interior of the country which is discharging in the Mediterranean from the interior of the country. Ongoing World Bank community involvement and ICZM activities in Tunisia and Morocco will be learning opportunities for this activity.
New proposals of activities
1. A presentation about an activity that may interest the Project Steering Committee “Strengthening knowledge on water in the Mediterranean” is made by Mohammed Blinda. Plan Bleu is going to send more information about this activity by e-mail, so that the Beneficiaries can reflect on this activity.
2. Lina Tode - replacing Seloua Amaziane (member of the Project Steering Committee for Morocco) - presents a new Moroccan proposal of an activity “Actualisation de la charge de morbidité liée à l’environnement ». Plan Bleu will send more information on this activity in English and French to the Project Steering Committee in coordination with Seloua Amaziane.
Rio +20
1. Hugues Ravenel informs the participants about Rio+20 and an upcoming report “20 years of Sustainable Development in the Mediterranean”, which will be distributed to all (potential) Beneficiaries.
Preparation of the workshop on green economy
1. The Project Steering Committee agrees on the draft agenda which has been set up for the workshop which will take place on Thursday 24th of May.
Miscellaneous
1. In general, for trainings realized under the Project, representatives from all eligible countries will be invited, as well as other regional agencies and institutions.
2. New countries joining the Project: West Bank and Gaza have submitted their endorsement letter to become a Beneficiary of the Project, which is currently in the phase of validation within the World Bank. The WB will send to Plan Bleu all documents and templates that eligible countries require to fill in and provide in order to become a Project Beneficiary. Plan Bleu will then share this information with the potential Beneficiaries.
3. Lina Tode explains implementation procedures of activities to be realized under the Project. The implementation of activities under this Project will be done completely by Plan Bleu under World Bank procedures and rules. Beneficiaries can review terms of references.
Next Project Steering Committee
1. The next “physical” Project Steering Committee meeting is planned for December 2012, leaving the option to meet via video-conference before this date. The next Project Steering Committee meeting will be chaired by Morocco.

Project report 2nd quarter 2012 – 14/08/2012 9
Introduction
Over the last forty years there have been several major summits on the Environment: the United
Nations conference in Stockholm (1972), the Rio conference in 1992, Johannesburg in 2002, and Copenhagen
in 2009. Each summit has advanced major themes around our conception of the Environment: « Sustainable
Development », « Durability »… and finally « green growth » or « green economy ».
The recent conference on Green Economy held in Marseilles is part of this on-going process. It succeeded
in bringing together 140 participants from across the Mediterranean representing government, local
administration, NGOs, media, public and private bodies – over forty percent of the participants were women –.
This also included redactors and key coordinators of the main reports on green economy such as Mr
Benmoussa from the Social and Economic Council of Morocco, Ms. Linster from OECD, Mr Saab from AFED, Mr
Pipien with Mr Blanc and Mr Bassino for the CMI (WB, AFD, EIB)/Plan Bleu report.
On the first day of discussions, there was a general consensus on Green Economy concepts. M. Pappalardo
highlighted that Green economy is a “sober economy” and is particularly restrained and sober in the use of
“resources that have to be protected” (Dr Abu Safieh). It is a “sustainable and efficient economy” (Gilles Pipien)
stressing the fact that, as conference the OECD’s Ms. Linster highlighted: going forward” environment and
economy cannot be thought of as separate concepts.” To summarize, Mr. Saab described it as the “economic
aspect of sustainable development”.
Political aspect of Mediterranean region was starting at the Barcelona conference in 1975 revealing
common goals, issues and priorities for this region. As a few participants recalled during the conference, there
are two main challenges countries have to grapple with: unemployment and resource scarcity, particularly in
the context of demographic growth. Moreover, according to M.s Pappalardo, we are not leading a sustainable
way of life: over-consumption, economic development models struggling to achieve growth, inefficiency in how
we allocate scare resources, over-consumption of energy and how environmental degradation impacts
economies.
Participants stressed that the actual situation facing the world also offers enormous possibilities to move
toward green growth and “transitioning towards a more green model would enable “long-term growth” and
lead to social inclusion and poverty reduction (Mr Pipien).
Job and wealth creation
• Short term positive impacts and returns on the economy
As Mr Saab explained (see figure 1), it is predicted that the Mediterranean region will require over 60 million
jobs by 2020. During his presentation, he discussed
how green economy could impact sectors such as
water, agriculture, energy, transportation, building
and tourism. Among these sectors, the chief
revelation is the shortness of the impacts on
economy and job creation. As an example,
transitioning to green agriculture could create ten
million new jobs; it could save an estimated 5 to 6 %
of (global/regional??) GDP, which translates into over
Figure 1 : Job creation by 2030 in each country due to energetic efficiency measures (source: SYNDEX)
Project report 2nd quarter 2012 – 14/08/2012 10
$100 billion dollars each year. According to the Social and Economic Council’s report and Mr. Saab’s study on
Morocco, programs that have been implemented (e.g., energy efficiency, waste management…) could lead to
an infusion of 90 000 new jobs.
Furthermore, investing in water solutions and air quality will have an impact on health outcomes and boost
returns on investment: according to a study on Jordan, each Jordanian dinar invested in these sectors will
result in 2.5 dinars in return. Of course, it is important to point out that investing in the different sectors in
order to transition towards the green economy will not generate wealth and employment opportunities at the
same rate as traditional agricultural models. Practical thinking is required on where the focus should be, and
how much effort is required within each sector and there will be the necessary trade-offs.
• Structural policies have to be refunded
To take advantage from all of the programs that have been implemented in order to transition to the green
economy; the first step must be the refund of the structural policies. As Mrs
Myriam Linster explained, a starting point should be the reframing of growth
accompanied by analytical frameworks. To bring this about structural policies
should be adapted to a country’s context, priorities and challenges. Moreover,
aspects of economic and environmental policies have to be mutually reinforced;
a menu of policies should be drawn while policy instruments should be
developed.
• Youth unemployment
The unemployment in Mediterranean countries is particularly strong among youth,
women, and just graduated people. But, as Mr. Ricardo Mesiano explained, the gap of
unemployment, especially among recent graduates, can be filled by switching to a green economy model. In
fact, those sectors, transitioning to green growth, will bring job creation and this reinforces a key point in the
study: highlighting those sectors where unemployment is the highest (for example building engineering).
Technological transfers and their issues
• Evaluating each country’s background and possibilities
M.s Sibel Seezer presentation highlighted a case from
Turkey, which showed indicators are strongly required and
used by Mediterranean countries as a tool for preliminary
evaluation, particularly when they try to implement new
policies, programs or changes in their economies.
Furthermore, the first step countries have to made while
shifting toward green economy has to be a strict evaluation
of what are the priority sectors bringing job creation, short
term positive effects on economy and also sectors where it
is extremely important to act in order to avoid irreversibility
risks of environmental degradation (see figure 3).

entrepreneur, Rida Lamrini)

Project report 2nd quarter 2012 – 14/08/2012 11
• Adapting the formation
To promote new sectors of development and to promote job creation, changes in formation have to be made
in order to obtain workers specialized in each sector. In this way, it isn’t necessary to import specialists from
abroad if the country is able to rely on local strengths. To do so, universities and engineering schools have to
work in partnership with the private sector building specific formations and diplomas linked with developing
sectors.
• Halting the transfer directly of those projects from the North to the SEMC and
beginning to convert projects and adapt them to the local context, using local strengths
and local labour whereas importing them
This is one of the errors pointed out by numerous participants that should not be overlooked. As Mr Lardic
explained in his presention on the “Charte qualité Marseille”, it is critical to adapt to the local context and
specificities because geographic position, climate, proximity to the sea brings new possibilities and collectively,
are strong assets that have to be used in this ever-changing process. Following participant discussion on this
objective, the city of Marseilles introduced an evaluation of the local uses and functions (example.g., in the
building sector), putting in place a collaborative reflexion with all the building productive chain (including
architects, building companies,…) .
Supporting companies in the transition to a green economy, and
particularly young entrepreneurs
• Helping them moving toward green economy and converting to new economic sectors
such as green energy, new technologies, new building materials…
By shifting to a green economy, we also destroy jobs and have to
make some trade-offs (as Dr Abu Safieh explained, by promoting
new transportation systems in Palestine we help reducing the
number of taxis).
According to Rafik Missaoui, the process that should be followed
by governments is the following: first they have to create a niche,
then to create a local offer, that will consequently develop a
market and integrate the
local industry, then the
demand will grow leading
to price reduction and
competition. But the first
step to do so has to be an evaluation of the strenghts and weaknesses of
each company.
• Creating new financing mechanisms (with partial
tax exemption, loans with lower interest rates) for
these companies
Support and technical assistance for green startups
of the target popula on through Young Entrepreneur Houses
(selec on, training, business plans, financing, post-crea on support)
Training programs on green technologies
(training centers, teachers, lecturers, trainers)
A knowledge base of green projects and jobs
to be exerted by the youth, the poor and SMEs

Figure 5 : Three major stages (Source: Fondation du Jeune
entrepreneur, Rida Lamrini)
Project report 2nd quarter 2012 – 14/08/2012 12
As witnessed in Eygpt and Lebanon, both private and public partners must make commitments. Banks have a
central role to play to incentivizing new companies towards such changes, in order for entrepreneurs to take
full advantage. In Lebanon and Egypt, banks offered financing facilities to companies who were making the
shift towards green (in Lebanon) or in the case of Egypt, taxi drivers shifting from away from gas-powered
vehicles. In both actors received loans with low rates, and subsidies from government making the transition
smoother. Furthermore, this kind of investment leads to new jobs, new industries, thereby reducing
environmental degradation. Clearly, this type of investments offers a high rate of return.
• With the help of the banking system, framed by new policies
According to Mr. Averous, a fund should be created in the Mediterranean region supported by private
investors and governments. At the same time, and as Mr. Wafik Grais reiterated, these types of financing
mechanisms should be created through a consultative process with stakeholders, otherwise it may not be
utilized ( Mr. Allègre highlighted one example whereas mechanism was created but not incorporated by
Mediterranean countries as it did not fit their context).
• Offering visibility on new public programs and national plans
Opening up the lines of communication with enterprises to ensure they are aware of all the tools and programs
offered will assist them in the transition to the green economy. In order for there to be a healthy adaptation,
the private sector must also be aware of all the processes, goals and objectives.
New choices on public policies
• There was consensus among all participants that a “brown economy” has a major cost
which has been detrimental to countries
As Mr Averous has explained, 66% of Moroccan gdp go to subsidizing fuel. And this is not an isolated case. For
most of the Mediterranean countries, and contrary to what one might thinks, economy only based on fuel
costs a lot because of all the different subsidies governments have put in place, whereas taxing fuel is reducing
environmental degradations by deterring people to consume, and brings in money reducing expenditures.
• Then a complete refund of the institutional and legal
framework must be undertaken to make the transition
more operational without overlooking the need to
identify new financial reforms
Several recommendations were tabled:
- Restoring a correct price on natural resources
- Restructuring existing taxes and introducing new taxes (including
market creation such as consumption-based taxes)
- Putting a (economic, social or both?) value on environment and
natural infrastructure
- Using eco-friendly subsidies to correct the market
Figure 6 : The Marseille recommendations of the working group (Source :
Mr Averous presentation, 23/24 May, Marseilles)
Project report 2nd quarter 2012 – 14/08/2012 13
• And finally, discontinuing certain subsidies and taxes that are not pro-poor. (Fuel
subsidies for example)
A lot of examples have shown that subsidizing fuel or food did little to
reduce poverty and on the contrary was helping the richest.
Moreover, subsidizing is a very expensive process for States’ Budgets
that is why stopping this kind of help could be a new financing
resource and part of this money could be reinvested in real poverty
reduction policies. Following this observation, studies show that
direct cash transfers to the poor would be much more efficient and
would cost much less and that is exactly what Indonesia has already
implemented : government introduced direct “subsidies distribution” of 17 million of poor people with
“environment” checks.
• In summary, this mechanism must be adaptive and based on ongoing evaluations of
the strategies implemented (but to do this effectively, indicators must be created and
incorporated to compare that which is most cost effective and identifying the positive
externalities)
As the OECD presented (Ms. Linster), indicators are very useful tools to understand which sectors are the most
profitable to be developed in each country. For example, in solar heating, developing a new technology could
be very interesting in Tunisia, where the loan repayment schedules are approximately two years per $100
dollars a barrel. However, a similar mechanism/policy/financing instrument would be totally ineffective in
another country such as Egypt where repayment schedules are approximately 100 years with the GPL(what is
GPL – spell it out) subsidies). Moreover, indicators can also be used to strengthen programs which have already
commenced.
New governance
• The need for decentralizing competencies
Many participants remind us the need of decentralization. The process couldn’t be only top down but both top
down and bottom up, because a real knowledge of the situation is needed, with a strategic comprehension to
gather and federate all of the stakeholders.
• In order to maximize inclusivity of all stakeholders (ensuring a participative process
with clear communication to civil society) in decisions (noting one of the objectives
of the conference was to give civil society a a stronger voice), even using indicators in
this type of communication and information and work-sharing process
As a bottom up process, the broader population must be given a leading role contributing to change. Finally,
the role of indicators is critically important because they enable effective and meaningful communication with
the population around programs and public policy (or political?) choices, thereby advancing the role and lifting
the voice of civil society in the process. In this way, people can react, criticize and importantly, feel involved in
effecting change

Conclusion, next steps
� We have now to enlarge the process to all of the Mediterranean countries.
Even if this conference was held around Mediterranean country special case and issues,
shifting toward green growth is a process to be share. Furthermore, examples, good
practices, issues and presentation could fit and be useful for other countries.
� What are the outputs and what have been brought by participants upon the Green growth
report and Marseilles’ recommendations?
Focusing on the different comments that have been given by participants from many
countries upon the report, it is obvious that this work is going to be useful and used by
countries. Also, other reports’ redactors and ministries’ representatives were stressing the
need for having examples and good practices, things that they have found in the report.
� A new Mediterranean platform, (Knowledge and experience sharing between SEM
countries)
A major finding highlighted during the conference was the will of sharing projects, ideas,
practices, communicating with other countries in order to be much more efficient and to
harmonize the change.
� This conference is also the beginning of an entire process which is going to lead, at least,
to another major conference in about one year and a half.

This workshop has been organized on back to back with the “Conference-Forum: Towards Green Economy in the Mediterranean Region? Environment as an opportunity for jobs creation and growth”, which took place on 23rd-24th May, 2012 in Marseilles (France). Whereas this conference-forum represented an opportunity for Beneficiaries and Partners of the Regional – Governance and Knowledge generation Project (ReGoKo) to gain more knowledge about green economy, the workshop Green economy, governance and knowledge allowed for a multi-partner brainstorming session, giving room for open intersectoral discussion and aiming at identifying common priorities and specific activities to be carried out under the Project in the field of green economy. The general objectives of this activity were the following: i. Enabling all participants to learn more about green growth in the Mediterranean region and to encourage a rich discussion on green growth between the Project’s Beneficiaries; ii. Creating a common knowledge basis on green growth; iii. Enabling the Project’s Beneficiaries to identify specific activities to foster green growth in their countries and in the Mediterranean region; iv. Enabling participants to identify activities related to green growth to be carried out under the ReGoKo Project.

1. Welcome and overview of workshop objectives
Chair: Ms. Lamia Mansour (Lebanon)
Ms. Hoonae Kim (The World Bank), Mr. Hugues Ravenel (Plan Bleu)
The workshop’s objectives are recalled quickly. A multi-partner brainstorming session with representatives from Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, France, Italy, Lebanon, Morocco, Spain, Tunisia, West Bank and Gaza; Ministries of Environment, Ministries of Planning, Ministries of Finance, Private Sector and NGOs, giving room for discussions about what a green economy could mean for the participants in their countries and how this would translate within the ReGoKo Project. Lamia Mansour outlines the workshop’s agenda and makes some small amendments; in particular a short session explaining the ReGoKo Project is added to the agenda.
2. Quick overview of the ReGoKo Project
Ms. Lina Tode (Plan Bleu)
Main characteristics of the ReGoKo Project are highlighted. Objective, components, institutional framework, role of Project Steering Committee, first set of agreed activities and their programmatic framework, partnering with other existing initiatives. This information is also available on the dedicated website.
3. Existing national priorities on green economy
This section summarizes the main issues countries have addressed concerning their respective
national priorities.
Mr. Rachid Tahiri (Morocco)
Main issues addressed: ecotaxes, voluntary instruments, important role of SMEs and public-private partnerships, clean technologies.
Ms. Amel Oudina (Algeria)
Main issues addressed: waste - recycling and valorisation, developing local competence in “green” sectors, training and education, “greening” industries to create jobs.
Ms. Lotfi Ben Said (Tunisia)
Main issues addressed: Tunisia is committed to achieving a green(er) economy; jobs creation in the renewable energy, building, and waste and recycling sectors.
Mr. Ahmed Abu Thaher and Mr. Mohammad Said Hmaidi Nasir (West Bank and Gaza)
Main issues addressed: intersectoral cooperation necessary, jobs creation in the building and wastewater sectors, knowledge sharing and awareness raising, clear mandates for institutions (governance), not a party of UNFCCC but supports its content.
Mr. Jaoudat Edward Abou-Jaoude and Ms. Lamia Mansour (Lebanon)
Main issues addressed: valorisation of natural resources, jobs creation through “greener” industries. Also see slideshow from Lamia Mansour, available on the dedicated website.

Mr. Adel Mohamed Taha and Ms. Gehan El Sakka (Egypt)
Clean production, solid waste management, carbon footprint, energy efficiency. Also see slideshow from Gehan El Sakka available on the dedicated website.
4. Governance for a green economy in the Mediterranean
Facilitated by Mr. Aldo Ravazzi (Italy)
This session has been articulated around the following aspects: how can the Regional – Governance and Knowledge eneration Project (ReGoKo) support Mediterranean Governments to encourage progress towards green economy and related jobs by adapting their legal, regulatory, fiscal and informational frameworks to support an economy that respects the environment, uses natural resources in an efficient way, preserves natural resource stocks, ensures low carbon emissions and creates jobs?
Lebanon raises the point that aspects concerning government issues should directly address high level decision makers. Also, a distinction can be made between a “green” economy and a “greener” economy.
Morocco suggests that new kinds of partnerships (public-private, donors, investors, …) will be required to help make Mediterranean economies greener. Also, access to environmental information is a major issue required to promote a greener economy in the Mediterranean.
Tunisia suggests to establish a regional knowledge base/inventory of best practices on governance and green economy (support would be required for example from the World Bank).
All of the issues mentioned above have also been addressed in the 36 recommendations of the working group on green economy which have been published during 24th May green economy conference.
Waste management could be a priority issue for the beneficiaries:
• West Bank and Gaza underlines that a major issue related to waste management is the fact that clear ownership of waste is usually not set (tragedy of the commons).
• West Bank and Gaza also highlights the issue of waste valorisation. More regional cooperation in waste valorisation could be beneficial, since certain types of waste cannot be recycled everywhere (for example tyres). It could make sense to build partnerships with neighbouring countries to transfer certain types of waste to countries where specialized treatment facilities exist.
• Egypt has experience with the management of medical waste and would be willing to share this information with other countries.
• Egypt is also interested in waste-to-energy measures, but the problem persists that the electricity produced cannot be injected into the Egyptian electricity grid due to technical barriers. Capital investment for pilot projects is needed.
• Algeria underlines the benefits of creating local competence in sectors like waste management and valorisation in order to create jobs.
As a great number of sectors and subjects relate to green economy, it is suggested that Beneficiaries could focus on one specific sector related to green economy and then look into ways for the ReGoKo Project to work on this sector in particular. Egypt suggests for example waste management and Morocco proposes to focus on (renewable) energy.
Project report 2nd quarter 2012 – 14/08/2012 26
Environmental law enforcements has been identified as a subject of interest concerning governance and green economy, especially with regards to natural resources which are shared amongst different Mediterranean countries.
5. Knowledge for a green Mediterranean economy
Facilitated by Mr. Christian Averous (France)
This session has been articulated around the following aspects: what can the ReGoKo do to help Mediterranean countries gain more knowledge about different green economy dimensions in their countries and systematically monitor specific green economy indicators? How can the ReGoKo encourage the exchange of green economy best practices between Mediterranean countries and promote public awareness and access to environmental information?
The participants have identified three main common issues related to knowledge and green economy:
1. Indicators West Bank and Gaza especially highlights the importance of the establishment and monitoring of sound and solid indicators to avoid “green-washing”. Also, collaboration with the media would be beneficial to spread high quality information. The importance of indicators has also been highlighted in the 36 recommendations of the working group on green economy which have been published during 24th May’s green economy conference.
2. Best practices Tunisia specifically highlights the benefits of a regional knowledge sharing platform. This idea of a Mediterranean Green Growth Knowledge Platform has also been addressed in the 36 recommendations of the working group on green economy. In fact, the platform could be a spin-off of an existing Green Growth Knowledge Platform which has been created recently by OECD, World Bank, UNEP and the Global Green Growth Institute. It has also been suggested to share best practices concerning green economy on a sectoral basis. In order to promote experience sharing on a regional level and with other on-going initiatives, Magali Outters, Project manager working on the Horizon2020 initiative suggests to create links between the Horizon2020 initiative and the ReGoKo Project. Horizon2020 focusses amongst other issues on waste management, industrial emissions and wastewater management, along with a component on indicators and trainings on green economy.
3. Access to environmental information This issue has been raised by several participants and is also being addressed in the recommendations of the working group on green economy, which suggests promoting the extension of the “Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-Making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters” (Aarhus Convention) to non-original signatory countries.
Project report 2nd quarter 2012 – 14/08/2012 27
6. Conclusions
Chair: Ms. Lamia Mansour
The workshop “green economy, governance and knowledge” has given participants from different sectors and different Mediterranean countries the opportunity to engage into an open brainstorming session about what green economy could mean for their countries and sectors as well as for the ReGoKo Project. During discussions, a large variety of issues have been raised by the participants, reflecting the participants’ interest in green economy and the need for further, more targeted discussions. Due to the multitude of issues raised, it has at this stage not been possible to identify specific priority activities to be implemented under the ReGoKo Project.
However, the workshop has succeeded in engaging representatives from different Mediterranean countries and sectors (Ministries of Environment, Ministries of Planning, Ministries of Finance, Private Sector and NGOs) into a common discussion about green economy in particular and environmental issues in general. Participants from different sectors have realized that fostering a green(er) economy and promoting the protection of natural resources could be beneficial for everybody and may therefore present a common objective. The establishment of this regional intersectoral dialogue has been a first step for mainstreaming environmental issues.
7. Next steps
The propositions and issues raised during this workshop will be followed up upon by Plan Bleu and the Project Steering Committee of the ReGoKo Project. In order to be able to define specific priority activities to be carried out under the ReGoKo Project, it may be beneficial to install some kind of a multi-partner reflection process on a national level before engaging into more in-depth regional discussions.
The Project Steering Committee and Plan Bleu will define such procedures in more detail and update the workshop’s participants on the next steps.
