Practitioners guide to strategi green industrial policy

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report was commissioned under the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) to guide policymakers in the development of their strategic green industrial policies (SGIP) as they advance their green economies.

UNIDO would like to express its gratitude to the PAGE partners – the International Labour Organization, United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Environment Programme, and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research Institute – for their support and continued collaboration on this project.

The Practitioner's Guide was authored by an expert team consisting of Christina Buczko, Leisa Burrell, Ralph Luken and Anna Pegels under the leadership of Christoph David Weinmann. The team was guided by a group of UNIDO staff including Smeeta Fokeer (who also took detailed care of several sections), Philipp Neuenburg, Michele Clara and Charles Arthur, and coordinated by Claudia Linke-Heep.

The guide was reviewed by the PAGE partners, the members of the Green Industry Platform technical committee, as well as UNIDO colleagues from various departments, whom we would all like to thank for their substantive inputs. We would furthermore like to express our gratitude to UNIDO's Publications Committee for their valuable comments and endorsement, in particular Mr. Ludovico Alcorta.

Special thanks are due to Heinz Leuenberger, Rene van Berkel, Ciyong Zou and Jürgen Hierold of UNIDO for their support and supervision; Ana Regina Marquez Lacayo, Edith Recourt, Patrick Göttner and Gavin Steel for their project support; Leisa Burrell and Shay Griffin for their thorough editing and Michael Geyer for design and layout of the report.

PAGE gratefully acknowledges the support of all its funding partners: European Union, Germany, Finland, Norway, Republic of Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates.
