Environment Programs
Too often, economic, institutional, and social incentives inadvertently support polluting and environmentally destructive practices. The Foundation’s programs focus on re-aligning these incentives, so that all of the key stakeholders involved can benefit from improved environmental management. Drawing on its decades of experience designing and implementing environmental protection programs, the Foundation addresses these challenges systemically, building capacity in organizations and individuals to apply innovative solutions that are based on the reality of local conditions.
Since the Foundation’s first large-scale regional environmental initiatives in the early 1990s, the Environment Program has continued to innovate through a combination of regional and country programming. The Foundation employs a distinctive toolbox of local knowledge and relationships, fundamental research and analysis, Asian NGOBusiness environmental management models, collaborative project design and multi-sectoral partnerships. Projects cover both regional and local interests, spanning topics from reducing water pollution in China and throughout Asia, to promoting stronger environmental standards in Mongolia’s mining industry, to participatory land use planning in the Philippines, to providing greater access to environmental information across sectors in Vietnam, Mongolia, and throughout South and Southeast Asia.
Through its network of 18 offices throughout the Asia-Pacific, the Foundation works with a wide range of local and international environmental stakeholders. The Foundation’s reputation and capacity as a trusted, neutral convener enables it to bring together individuals representing different institutions, sectors, and perspectives to address environmental issues, in a balanced, considered, and collegial manner.
