Outreach Group

Background

The Asia Pacific Outreach Group is one element of the Asia Pacific Task Force (APTF), which currently acts as an umbrella organization for all country groups in the Asia Pacific region, and includes the Japan Group, and Australasian Group.

Aims and Objectives

The aim of the Asia Pacific Outreach Group is to lead and coordinate various outreach programmes within the APTF not operated directly by an established country group such as the Australasia Group or Japan Group.

The objective of the group is especially to facilitate and raise awareness of UNEP FI activities in countries such as China and within South East Asia where there are very little or no UNEP FI signatories and in Korea and the Philippines where UNEP FI has some members but no country groups at present.
