Working Paper

This working paper, Green Public Procurement (GPP) in ASEAN: A Way Forward, was developed to support the ASEAN Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) Framework, specifically its goal of establishing best practices for green products and GPP guidelines. Initiated by SWITCH-Asia following the decision by the ASEAN Working Group on Environmental Education (AWGEE) to address each pillar of the SCP Framework individually, the scope of this paper was expanded to encompass economic frameworks such as the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) Blueprint 2025 and the Framework for Circular Economy for the ASEAN Economic Community. Leveraging SWITCH-Asia’s extensive experience in Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) across ASEAN, this paper provides actionable strategies to accelerate GPP adoption, address implementation gaps, and position GPP as a key driver of sustainable development, regional market integration, and economic resilience.
