Green Public Procurement: An Overview of Green Reforms in Country Procurement Systems
The “Green Public Procurement: An Overview of Green Reforms in Country Procurement Systems” report launch event will take a look at the global view of Green Public Procurement (GPP). Aiming to build GPP capacity in country procurement systems, this event will focus on the institutional dimensions needed for the whole of government to mainstream GPP practices. Discussion topics will cover a wide range of country cases and present handbooks and tools for practitioners. The event will address the issues practitioners need to consider in designing and implementing GPP reforms. Panelists will discuss country examples, including the Indian Railroads and the Philippines government’s practices.
