ABG launches Green Blue Economy Policy
The Autonomous Bougainville Government officially launched its Green-Blue Economy Policy, marking a milestone in Bougainville’s journey towards sustainable development and environment protection.
ABG Minister for Lands, Physical Planning, Environment, Conservation and Climate Change described this launch as a visionary step.
‘Today, we officially launch the Bougainville Blue Green Economy Policy, a bold and visionary step that lays out our collective commitment to a future where economic growth is harmonized with the conservation of our rich forest and marine ecosystem,’ he said.
Minister Tumare said the Green and Blue Economy Policy is the region’s response, a declarative response that Bougainville will walk the same path that others have walked, adding that the foundation of this policy is built on three central key principles; sustainability, equitability and resilience.
Regional Member for Bougainville, Hon Peter Tsimalili Junior, described the policy as a cutting edge policy for Bougainville’s political and economic independence.
He also expressed his appreciation to the National Minister for Environment, Conservation and Climate Change Hon Simo Kilepa and Secretary Ms Deborah Sungi who were present in Buka to witness the launching.
