Projecting Industrial Pollution in the Greater Mekong Subregion
Program, Core Environment | July 2017
Abstract
This brief overviews the diverse pollutants and their sources that are harming the natural environment and people’s well-being in the GMS. It looks at how the World Bank’s Industrial Pollution Projection System (IPPS) has been used in the subregion to help the countries identify current and future pollution risks. This includes Core Environment Program (CEP) support to Cambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), and Myanmar for applying the IPPS as a first step toward managing pollution from their rapidly growing manufacturing sectors. The brief provides recommendations on how the IPPS should be used to complement monitoring systems to enable a sharper view of emerging pollution risks.
