Strategic Policy Options (SPO) Database

http://enviroscope.iges.or.jp/contents/cgi-bin/rispo/index_spo.cgi

Innovative policies to promote development strategies were identified as SPOs and those have been developed by the eight sub-themes to recommend directions to policy-makers for achieving sustainable development in different policy areas. Each SPO highlights critical instruments required for its implementation, expected and observed impacts, evaluation, implementation issues, and its applicability and limitations. A total of approximately 150 SPOs from the sub-themes have been developed and stored in the SPO database on the user-friendly RISPO website.
