| Summary: | Climate variability and resource
scarcity pose an increasing threat to the growth and
competitiveness of industry, and nowhere is this issue more
significant than in the world’s emerging economies.
Governments and industry must work together to tackle this
challenge. The World Bank Group’s Climate Competitive
Industries (CCI) initiative aims to assist client
governments to improve the competitiveness of their
manufacturing industry, by facilitating the adoption of
cleaner technologies and more efficient practices, tailored
to the needs of the private sector. This Guide is designed
to provide practitioners with an understanding of the CCI
initiative and step-by-step guidance on how to design,
develop, and implement a CCI or equivalent program. This
book has four modules. Module one provides an overview of
the impetus for global action on resource efficiency and the
pressures on and the roles of individual enterprises and
governments in responding to the challenges and
opportunities presented. This Module also provides an
introduction to the World Bank Group’s CCI initiative
introduces the challenges of climate change and the global
pressures on natural resources. Module two provides
guidance on how to take an initial concept for an industrial
resource efficiency program through to the design stage. It
provides the tools to enhance the practitioner’s
understanding of a country’s manufacturing base, including
the main actors, opportunities, drivers, barriers and
success factors. Module three provides guidance on how to
implement a resource efficiency program within industry. It
provides information on how to raise awareness and work with
the core stakeholders throughout the process. Module four
focuses specifically on the development of Standards and
Labelling (S and L) initiatives. |
