Sustainable Development Strategy for the Seas of East Asia
Promotes regional cooperation for addressing environmental relationships across national boundaries
Harmonize interactions and enhance synergies between economic development and environmental management
Reinforces relationships between a healthy environment and social issues such as poverty alleviation, food security, employment and human health.
Provides platform for partnerships among countries of the region, the private sector, NGOs, academe, local communities and other members of the civil society and UN international agencies.
River Basins Draining into the East Asian Seas
The river basins that are associated with the EAS cover a total area of 6.25 million km2 and accommodate about 1.5 billion people.
The EAS serves as the catchment area of the associated upstream river basins.
Partnership should therefore extend towards the river basins of the region.

New Challenges: WSSD
Building a stronger Public Private Sector
Partnerships appears to be the biggest challenge in
the future in achieving the Millennium Development
Goal and targets set by WSSD. The new challenge lies
in how we can effectively transform environmental
problems from being a public liability into economic
opportunities. The role of the private sector cannot be
underestimated.
