The ECO ASIA Long-term Perspective Project (LTPP) was proposed by the Environment Agency (now Ministry of the Environment), Government of Japan, at the second meeting of ECO ASIA (1993).
LTPP aims to provide decision makers in Asia-Pacific with a scientific basis for policy formulation to achieve sustainable development.
International workshops were held on eight occasions to promote international research collaboration with the participation of countries, regions, and relevant international organizations in Asia- Pacific.
