Nature and Nurture: Poverty and Environment in Asia and the Pacific

Abstract:

This publication is one output of PEP. It gives an overview of poverty-environment linkages and features the results of some of the PEP-sponsored activities. It also includes case studies from other organizations. Most of these case studies were discussed at a meeting at ADB in Manila in June 2008 of the Poverty and Environment Partnership, which is an informal network of poverty environment practitioners from development agencies and non-government organizations around the world. The publication captures the key messages that emerged from the discussions.
