On the basis of the conceptual framework and findings of the report Green Economy and Trade – Trends, Challenges and Opportunities, the second phase of the GE-TOP project was aimed at identifying and assessing concrete trade opportunities at the country level in Chile, Ghana, Peru, South Africa, Vietnam.
Through these country projects, GE-TOP assisted sustainable development in various sector and country contexts, including an assessment of export opportunities resulting from a national standard for the Chilean agriculture sector; a scoping study and a strategy proposal on solar energy export potential in Ghana; a project study and a support document for the implementation of the National Biotrade Strategy in Peru; an assessment of export opportunities resulting from a shift to organic farming in the agricultural and agro-processing sector of South Africa; and a study and action plan on export opportunities for sustainably certified aquaculture in Vietnam.
The findings of the different studies produced through each country project were synthesized in the report Green Economy and Trade Opportunities: Country Projects Synthesis Report.
