UNIDO Eco-efficiency (Cleaner Production) Program
The UNIDO Eco-efficiency (Cleaner Production) Program was established as a sub-program of the governmentally supported Spanish branch of the Millennium Development Goals Achievement Fund (MDG-F) and the project “Enhancing the Capacity of Turkey to Adapt to Climate Change” was conducted 2008-2011 by the United Nations Joint Program. The program was carried out by the Technology Development Foundation of Turkey (TTGV) under the coordination of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and with the consultation of Middle East Technical University (METU). The UNIDO Eco-efficiency (Cleaner Production) Program is based upon the fact that industrial adaptation to climate change can be accomplished through eco-efficiency (cleaner production) practices and that less resources should be used during production. In general terms the program consists of savings in water, energy and raw materials, increases in production efficiency, improvements in product and production quality, and many other processes which aim to create environmentally friendly production, or in other words, the program serves to promote the prevalence of an approach that fosters both environmental and economical gains. To date, the program has completed informative, promotional and educational programs along with six pilot project demonstrations, and has procured water-savings which in particular have allowed for significant gains in environmental and economical terms. www.ecoefficiency-tr.org
