Exhibition on environmentally sound technology EST Showcase will be organized from 5 February to 8 February 2006.

(c) Access to and transfer of environmentally sound technologies on a concessional or preferential basis, as mutually agreed

The greatest challenge in that regard was to acquire relevant technology that was affordable, efficient and environmentally sound.

(a) Tthe environmentally sound management of wastes consisting of, containing or contaminated with PCDDs orand PCDFs or both

(c) Development policies through private sector support, diffusion of environmentally sound technologies, investment promotion and enhanced access to markets

It could also provide the means for capacity building and transfer of environmentally sound technologies for sustainable forest management

International cooperation in capacity building, and access to and transfer of environmentally sound technologies to support sustainable forest management

Countries identify finance, the transfer of environmentally sound technologies and capacity building as a priority area for further action.

The objective is to review policy instruments for stimulating the diffusion of ESTs and promoting environmentally sound technological development.

Similarly, import and export of listed substances are prohibited or restricted, except for the purpose of environmentally sound disposal.

Besides, 370 billion yuan will be used to improve rural living standards in an environmentally sound manner and sustainable way.

Preparation of technical guidelines on the environmentally sound management of wastes resulting from surface treatment of metals and plastics (Y17)

C. Decision XVII __ Technical and financial implications of the environmentally sound destruction of concentrated and diluted sources of ozone depleting substances

All Centre activities include a capacity building component, with special emphasis on sustainability and on the environmentally sound applications of biotechnology.

What can be done to raise awareness among the main stakeholders and general public and to foster environmentally sound waste management practices?

The Ad Hoc Expert Group on Finance and Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technologies met at Geneva from 15 to 19 December 2003.

(a) Providing adequate means of implementation, including secured and predictable financial resources, project financing, capacity building and access to environmentally sound technologies

Recognizing the complexity of the issues concerning or related to the environmentally sound management of used and end of life mobile phones,

How can stakeholders and the general public be encouraged to clean up existing debris and dispose of it in an environmentally sound manner?

C. Draft decision XVII C Technical and financial implications of the environmentally sound destruction of concentrated and diluted sources of ozone depleting substances

(b) Tthe environmentally sound management of wastes consisting of, containing or contaminated with pesticides aldrin, chlordane, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene, mirex and toxaphene

It promoted coordination of initiatives on the safe and environmentally sound utilization of genetic engineering, especially in the agricultural and agro food sectors.

Adopts on an interim basis the technical guidelines on the environmentally sound management of wastes resulting from surface treatment of metals and plastics (Y17)

Effective gender mainstreaming should result in development that both enhances gender equality and removes gender related impediments to social, economic, and environmentally sound development.

A greater distribution of the means of production, environmentally sound supply chains, and a newly relevant DIY maker culture can hope to transcend artificial scarcity.

Capacity building encompasses enabling policies and incentives, appropriate legislation and regulation, effective enforcement, adequate information and sufficient human resources, in addition to environmentally sound technologies.

One project is currently being implemented in this field under the title of The Determinants of Environmentally Sound Technologies (ESTs) Utilization in Selected Developing Countries .

Owing to simplicity in implementation and use of cheap raw materials in villages, it is one of the most environmentally sound energy sources for rural needs.

In addition, there are outright bans on the export of these wastes if the exporting state has reason to believe the wastes in question will not be disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. Transboundary movements can take place, however, if the state of export does not have the capability to manage or dispose of the hazardous waste in an environmentally sound manner.

(b) Promoting and facilitating, as appropriate, access to and the development, transfer and diffusion of technologies, including environmentally sound technologies and corresponding know how, to developing countries

(b) Promote and facilitate, as appropriate, access to, and development, transfer and diffusion of, technologies, including environmentally sound technologies and the corresponding know how, to developing countries

This depends on securing political commitment and requires that more emphasis be placed on the means of implementation (finance, transfer of environmentally sound technologies and capacity building)

(b) To promote and facilitate, as appropriate, access to, and development, transfer and diffusion of, technologies, including environmentally sound technologies and the corresponding know how, to developing countries

The issue of financing sustainable forest management has been extensively addressed by the Forum and its ad hoc expert group on financing and transfer of environmentally sound technologies.
