This UNIDO Eco-Industrial Parks (EIP) training is designed to create a common understanding on eco-industrial parks, aligned with the International Framework for Eco-Industrial Parks developed by UNIDO, GIZ and the World Bank. In taking this course, participants will learn about key resources and tools available to support the identification, development and implementation of EIP approaches in industrial parks in order to understand and learn about the opportunities, challenges and success factors for the mainstreaming of EIPs in their countries. 

This course is delivered within the framework of the Global Eco-Industrial Parks Programme (GEIPP) supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). The objective of GEIPP is to demonstrate the viability and benefits of adopting an Eco-Industrial Parks approach for scaling up resource productivity, and mainstreaming the inclusion of environmental, social and governance performance indicators in the assessment of economic performance of industrial parks.
