World pays high price for environmental disasters

Crippling droughts, torrential floods and other environmental disasters will cost the world more than $70 billion in 2002, the United Nations Environment Program said.

“Over the next three to four decades the world could witness a year in which losses from droughts, storms surges, hurricanes and floods hit one trillion dollars”, source: UNEP Nov.2006

Expected Outcome of GMTAP

““Localization of TechnologyLocalization of Technology”” through technology transfer and collaboration from

Japanese partners in the form of training/workshops and pilot projects.

““SustainabilitySustainability”” Technology transferred from Japan should be sustainable and

gradually adopted by local experts comprising MTEC staff and strategic
