It argues that member governments have made progress in improving environmental performance; however, because of the limited environmental carrying capacity of the region and the immense pressure exerted by the changing consumption and production patterns, environmental degradation continues. The publication elaborates on green growth policy measures as a key requirement for achieving the Millennium Development Goals on environmental sustainability and poverty reduction.
