Objective
To create investment opportunities and
mechanisms for environmental improvement and coastal/marine resource
development and management, in selected areas of the region.
Triple
Dividends: Profits, Public Revenues and Clean Environment
 The sustainable management of the environment requires large financial
investments, and the public sector needs to mobilize capital and
technological resources from other sectors. Through PEMSEA, investment
and financing opportunities in environmental services, facilities
and clean technologies are packaged into fast-track and 'bankable'
projects. Specific projects are determined at each of the ICM sites
and pollution hot spot locations, and presented to all stakeholders
and partners. PEMSEA cultivates a policy milieu and management framework
that facilitates private sector participation in coastal and marine
resource development and pollution prevention. Economic growth can,
therefore, be achieved without sacrificing the environment.
Power of Investment - Multiplied
In the new millennium, public attention is being focused on eco-friendly
technology and products. PEMSEA advances innovative policy measures,
such as public-private partnerships and ISO 14000 certification
of local government units (LGUs) and industries through the application
of proven management tools. Moreover, the coastal and marine resources
offer new opportunities for innovation by firms to meet changing
consumer preferences. Around US$600 million worth of investments
are projected to be generated. This will result in significant leverage
and multiplier effects in each participating country of the region.
Likewise, this will enable local and national governments to raise
funds for financing resource conservation and environmental protection
activities.
Building
Partnerships
Participating national and local governments, service and technology
providers, international consultants, national professionals, donor
agencies and other relevant public and private sector stakeholders
are sought as full partners in the development of environmental
investments. Through PEMSEA, a range of mechanisms is designed to
catalyze and move environmental projects forward.

Turn
environmental problems into investment
opportunities!
 The Global Environment Facility (GEF) has
allocated a medium-sized project grant to
PEMSEA participating countries for the
purpose of developing and demonstrating
public-private partnerships (PPP) in
environmental investments. The PEMSEA PPP
project is rooted in the conviction that
global environmental problems can only be
addressed adequately if people are involved,
and local governments are in the best
position to take actions that can make a
difference in people's lives and the
environment.
