Policy Tools for SCP

DOWNLOAD the SCP Policy Toolbox.

The aim of the Policy Tool Box is to to enhance their knowledge on SCP policies and enable them to provide concrete input to SCP policy-making to ensure optimal and long lasting impacts of the SWITCH-Asia programme. The report is divided into two main parts: Part 1 seeks to give the reader a good understanding of what is meant by SCP policies and policy instruments, i.e. what tools are available in the SCP policy tool box. To serve this purpose the section will present an SCP policy framework. Special emphasis is given to SCP policy areas and instruments with particular relevance to the SWITCH-Asia programme, and the conceptual descriptions are supplemented by a brief description of the latest policy development within this field as well as real-life examples of SCP policies from Asia and Europe. Part 2 of the tool box seeks to assist the SWITC H-Asia projects in identifying policies and policy instruments that could increase the positive
environmental and social impacts of their specific projects, e.g. by facilitating replication of the SCP concept relevant to the project. To do this, the section applies two different entry points.
