dc.descriptionThis report, published by the United Nations Environment Programme’s Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific as part of the NETTLAP series, analyzes major environmental challenges in the Asia-Pacific region and their implications for tertiary-level environmental education. Focusing on coastal zone management, environmental economics, and hazardous waste and toxic chemical management, the authors highlight gaps in expertise and propose targeted training to build capacity in higher education institutions. The report situates these themes within broader global and regional concerns—such as urbanization, climate change, and biodiversity loss—and emphasizes the need for integrated, interdisciplinary approaches. It advocates for curriculum reform, institutional strengthening, and the development of resource materials to equip educators with the tools needed to support sustainable development across the region.en
