NO This report describes an evolving policy landscape characterized by a changing economic reality, rising demand for resources, increasingly  apparent impacts of environmental and climate change, and increased risk and uncertainty. The report provides new insights into Asian and Pacific resource use trends and outlines  key actions, including reforming economic incentives and promoting more inclusive and  adaptive governance approaches, that governments can pursue to help bring economic  growth strategies in closer alignment with the objective of sustainable development. It also  provides examples of strategies for improving resilience to help deal with the increasing levels  of risk faced by societies and economies.  The report is the product of a combined effort by three institutions: the United Nations Economic  and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and  the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). It is the sixth in a series of reports prepared  by ESCAP for successive Ministerial Conferences on Environment and Development in Asia and  the Pacific, and is the third in ADBs Asian Environment Outlook series. It is also in line with the  mandate of UNEP to keep the state of the environment under review. The report provides timely support to policymakers and other stakeholders as they prepare  for the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio +20) and as they  continue work to address persistent and emerging challenges on their way to more sustainable  development.
