Recently, in line with one of Republic of Korea (ROK) Government’s national priorities is to implement and develop various environmental policies to realize environmental soundness, economic efficiency and social balance and to open doors to an era of liferespecting, participatory green nation. UNDP/ROK environment programme will provide room initially for two GEF supported projects and one UNDP-assisted intervention, all with a view to enabling the country to meet its environmental obligations better. In carrying out these projects, the programme will reinforce the achievement of the Development Cooperation Programme objectives as all three undertakings have significant regional implications. BIODIVERSITY LAND WATER PORTFOLIO Anne-Isabelle Degryse-Blateau, Resident Representative The Korean Government is taking the lead in addressing Integrated Water Resources Management, in particular those of transboundary nature. The Transboundary Biosphere Reserve project is underway for the conservation and sustainable development in the lower Tumen River area focusing on promoting necessary cooperative activities among stakeholders of the participating countries. The area, bordered by China, DRPK and Russian Federation, contains high biodiversity such as wetlands, marine resources as well as internationally endangered Siberian Tigers and Far East Leopards. The Korean government is funding three programmes that are focused on developing and formulating support systems and international cooperation on environment-friendly agriculture, developing an agricultural production framework in pursuit of food safety, quality and environmental sustainability, as well as a pilot programme that introduces the concept of EcoCity. Promoting the collaborative approach to wetland conservation through complementary integration of national and local policy and planning frameworks and bringing communities directly into the management planning process are priority areas for conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.These interventions also include the identification of the effects of soil erosion and developing integrated soil loss protection plans for the Tumen river basin.

ASIA AND THE PACIFIC LAOS, PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF MDG7 Progress Towards Environmental Sustainability Laos is endowed with a diverse, productive and ecologically unique forest Savannakhet that serves as a vital economic resource contributing to the country’s THAILAND GDP as well as its non-agricultural GDP. The forests also make essential Pakse contributions to nutrition, income, energy and shelter for the 80% of the CAMBODIA Lao population that lives in rural areas and relies on non-timber forest products for subsistence for around half of their cash income and to offset seasonal food shortage. However, the proportion of land covered by forests has seen a significant decline, due in part to harmful cultivation methods and to the increasing population pressure on scarce arable land and illegal logging. The Lao government has established 20 National Biodiversity Conservation Areas, plus two corridor areas, all of which cover 14.3% of the country’s territory. These were established with the purpose of maintaining a stable flow of goods and services through the ecosystem while also preventing natural disasters such as flooding. A high proportion of the Lao population suffers from diseases related to deficiencies in water supply and sanitation. Nevertheless, there has been progress: between 1990 and 2002 the proportion of the population with access to a safe source of water increased from 28% to 58%, although access in 2002 varied considerably across the provinces and ranged from 38% to 86%. The Government aims to ensure that 80% of the population enjoys access to safe drinking water by 2015. To date, most investment in water supplies has been through external assistance in the form of grants or soft loans. While this aid is expected to continue, there are also early signs of greater involvement from the private sector. QUICK FACTS CURRENT PORTFOLIO BUDGET Total UNDP-GEF and Co-Finance: $1,014,500 Total UNDP and Co-Finance: $3,767,832 Total MPU and Bilateral: $371,496 Total: $5,153,828 Cumulative Total ODS Phased-Out: 28.6 ODP tonnes Biodiversity Conservation for Poverty Reduction 2 Coordination among the relevant agencies, national and international, is weak. Responsibilities between different agencies overlap and authorities and lines of accountability are unclear. National institutions also lack financial resources and have limited access to technology. Since these shortcomings hamper the achievement of the MDGs in Laos, improved institutional capacity in environmental management for integrated planning is much needed in order to increase the prospects for environmental sustainability in the country. 1 Since the project’s completion in 2004, awareness-raising activities and dissemination workshops have been conducted at national, provincial and district levels. In addition, the BCR and NBSAP documents are currently being published, as well as a BIODIVERSITY CD-ROM on Lao biodiversity, and will be widely disseminated, raising awareness on Lao PDR’s strategy to conserve its unique biodiversity. CHINA MYANMAR LAOS VIETNAM Luang Prabang Vientiane Gulf of Tonkin SPOTLIGHT In PDR Laos, high levels of cultural diversity are matched by a wealth of biodiversity, including tropical forests, wetlands, endangered mammal and aquatic species and a huge number of rice varieties. Given the direct and overwhelming reliance of the country’s economy on biodiversity resources – estimated by the Economic Technical Working Group to represent approximately 75% of GDP – it is critical to establish a national strategy for all future economic planning and natural resources use and management. Since 2001, two government agencies, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and the Science, Technology and Environment Agency have been responsible for ensuring the sustainable use, protection and management of biodiversity, through the preparation of the Biodiversity Country Report (BCR). UNDP and DANIDA are providing US$ 677,000 to assist the Government in developing a pro-poor National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP), which aims to create a framework for biodiversity conserving as a key to poverty alleviation. The framework will provide the relevant national and provincial authorities with a blueprint for action needed to ensure sustainable use of Lao PDR's biodiversity through a cross-sectoral approach to sustainable management and protection, and to create awareness among stakeholders of the importance and value of biodiversity and of their role in its management. 182
