ASEAN Plus Three Leadership Programme on Sustainable Production and Consumption

The ASEAN Environmental Education Action Plan (AEEAP) 2008-2012 was endorsed by the ASEAN Environment Ministers in 2008 to serve as a guiding document for ASEAN to promote and develop environmental education for sustainable development in ASEAN Member States (AMS). One of the activities agreed by the Ministers to implement the AEEAP 2008-2012 is to conduct an ASEAN leadership training programme on environment.

Since 2008, UNU-IAS has collaborated with the ASEAN Secretariat and AMS to conduct annual ASEAN Plus Three (ASEAN+3) Leadership Programmes on Sustainable Production and Consumption under the framework of the ASEAN Environmental Education Action Plan (AEEAP 2008-2012). Information from the previous years' programmes is below.

The 5th ASEAN+3 LP is scheduled for 17-19 October 2012, back-to-back with the capacity building workshop of the EU-funded SWITCH-Asia Policy Support Component (scheduled for 15-16 October) organized by UNEP. Participants of the SWITCH-Asia workshop will participate in the 5th ASEAN+3 LP. The programme will be held in Manila, Philippines co-organized by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of the Philippines and the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity.
