| description |
The aim of this publication is to
provide an international framework (the
"framework") which defines the basic requirements
and performance criteria needed for an industrial park to
qualify as an Eco-Industrial Park (EIP). It summarizes the
areas in which the international organizations that have
authored this framework — the United Nations Industrial
Development Organisation (UNIDO), the World Bank Group, and
the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit
(GIZ) GmbH — have aligned to define an Eco-Industrial Park
(EIP). The purpose of this publication is three-fold,
namely: (i) to assist stakeholders to develop and transition
to EIPs; (ii) to consistently engage with, encourage, and
recognize EIPs; and (iii) to improve the performance,
sustainability and inclusiveness of the industrial sector
and move toward an international standard on EIPs. UNIDO,
the World Bank Group, and GIZ are supporting governments and
industrial park practitioners to develop EIPs in different
countries and contexts. EIPs can be defined as industrial
areas that promote cross-industry and community
collaboration for common benefits related to economic,
social and environmental performance. These goals are
incorporated into the siting, planning, management, and
operations of EIPs.Industrial parks are known by different
names, including: industrial areas, industrial zones,
industrial investment regions, special economic zones, and
industrial corridors, and they are planned and developed for
industrial activities and associated commercial and
infrastructure services. The concentration of economic
activities in industrial parks require that they are
sustainable. There are currently a number of tools and
processes which assist governments and industrial park
stakeholders to implement inclusive and sustainable
industrial development. However, a consolidated and targeted
framework for EIPs is largely lacking at the international
level. Increasingly, countries and industrial park
stakeholders request ‘standards’ or benchmarks for pursuing
sustainability as envisioned by EIPs. An innovative approach
to such requests is to set "prerequisites" or
"sustainability performance requirements" 1 for
industrial parks, covering regulatory compliance and
socio-economic, environmental, and management standards.
These standards provide benchmarks for assessing existing
industrial parks, retrofitting existing parks, or planning
new EIPs. The EIP Framework presented in this document
contains these prerequisites and performance requirements,
which are outlined in tables in Section 4. These are
international and inclusive in scope, and are relevant to
all industrial parks, irrespective of what they are called.
They are also relevant to stakeholders in the private and
public sectors in which these industrial parks are located.
The EIP Framework can inform stakeholder networks, and be
used by UNIDO, the World Bank Group and GIZ to promote EIPs
globally. Legislation by national governments of the
regulations, activities and structures governing industrial
parks varies considerably across the world, and so the
framework recognizes the need to consider local contexts and
sensitivities when applying these requirements. |
