Dr. J. Bischoff, Director, GTZ-ASEM suggested the 'triple-win' approach for improving the urban environment through Eco-Business. The approach firstly includes increased reputation for good environmental management and economic development of the cities with greater private investment. Secondly, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would get a boost through eco-business resulting in big employment generation and thirdly the corporate sector would join hands with the Government set-up for a more coordinated environmental improvement in the cities. |
