OPERATIONAL
MECHANISM
EAP PP OPERATIONAL MECHANISM
• A governance component is designed to facilitate international, intraregional, and interregional
partnerships for the generation & regeneration of Green Growth, and be democratic, transparent, and
accountable
• A funding component, designed to allow the PP to compete with “dirty” (that is, exploitative of the
environment or of people) FDI as a source of potential investment without placing massive strain on
donors or heavily indebting recipients
• An implementation component, designed to ensure an efficient process toward effective
outcomes based around the principles of Green Growth and the MDGs

FUNDING &
IMPLEMENTATION
Incorporating a Green FDI ratio?
•A Green FDI ratio would mandate that a certain proportion of FDI must be
directed towards green products, services, infrastructure, and EST (ie. 1:4 = $1 of GG FDI
for every $4 of “dirty” FDI, or 20% of all FDI must be “green”);
•Would apply to both the source and destination of FDI, to stimulate GG-oriented
investment and prevent the outsourcing of environmentally-devastating industries to
developing countries;
•Would apply to both private & public sources of FDI and be incorporated into new and
existing bilateral and multilateral trade agreements.
EAP PP Fund
