The Validation Workshop for the Green Industry Assessment Peru took place on the premises of the Ministry of Production of Peru (PRODUCE). The event was jointly organized by UNIDO and the Ministry of Production of Peru under the framework of the Partnership for Action on Green Economy(PAGE).
The aim of the Green Industry Assessment is to develop specific green industrial policy recommendations while mobilizing stakeholders to contribute with ideas and get involved in the design and formulation of policies that will help Peru shift towards a green economy. Combining the analysis of long-term structural change and the role of green industrial policy, it focuses on the creation and promotion of green industries in Peru.
The study was jointly developed by national experts from Peru as well as international experts from the Sustainable Europe Research Institute (SERI), taking into account the contributions of policy-makers, entrepreneurs, academics, directors of non-governmental organizations, officials from international organizations and other industrial stakeholders.
At this validation workshop, the results of the study were presented in order to be verified and discussed by the national stakeholders.
