The Maryland-Asia Environmental Partnership (MD-AEP) is a private sector initiative which is mobilizing resources and expertise from private investors and corporations, government agencies and multilateral banks to address Asia’s massive energy, water and pollution prevention needs. Throughout Asia, government officials are grappling with major environmental management and resource concerns at the national and local level. What is often lacking is a holistic approach to address the gamut of lessons learned and appropriate resources for future sustainable development planning needs.
