Poverty Environment Initiative Asia Pacific supported the organization of the event together with the Asian Development Bank Core Environment Programme, the Oslo Consortium Initiative, WWF, the Global Mechanism, FAO and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign affairs. The event attracted more than 100 delegates from government, private sector and development organizations who gathered to discuss the status of green growth in the GMS and how initiatives can be scaled up.
