dc.description.abstractIn many countries, the government is the single largest purchaser of products, services and works. Green Public Procurement (GPP) enables governments to reduce the environmental impact of their purchases. It also serves as a powerful tool for governments to simultaneously achieve their environmental and development policy objectives. Governments in high income countries first started integrating environmental considerations into procurement over twenty years ago. In developing countries, GPP is still an emerging practice. There is growing recognition that buying green offers value for money over the longer-term and that governments need to consider the environmental costs associated with their purchases. This is particularly important in the context of climate change. Countries can make a start by launching pilot green tenders for commonly procured items, using simple environmental criteria such as ecolabels. Scaling up requires leadership and investments in an enabling framework. Central finance and procurement agencies play a critical role in this effort. This report provides an overview of international experience in the implementation of GPP. It focuses on the institutional framework that is needed to support the mainstreaming of GPP practices across government. The intention is to equip practitioners with a broad understanding of the issues they need to consider in the design and implementation of GPP reforms. The report draws on a wide range of country examples. It provides links to handbooks and tools for practitioners. Preparation of this report has been financed, in part, by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, Switzerland. We appreciate their generous support. The report has benefited from the contributions of many colleagues in governments and international organizations. It builds on extensive contributions of the United Nations Environment Programme and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development work on sustainable procurement. We would like to express our appreciation to all. en_US
