20 April 2011 - The Arab Forum for Environment and Development (AFED) concluded today in Amman a series of consultation meetings to discuss the first draft of its upcoming report on an Arab Green Economy, due to be released in October 2011.

The AFED report will address the transformations needed to achieve desired economic, social, and environmental sustainability goals in Arab countries.

The report will address the enabling strategies and development policies for navigating a green transition in eight sectors: energy, water, agriculture, tourism, waste management, industry, cities/buildings, and transportation.
