Intangible Benefits

Are immense but are difficult to capture in monetary terms

A rough estimate for health benefits from various actions – Solid waste management, better sanitation, organic fumigation, stringent norms on vehicular pollution, increased green cover, works out to be US$16million/yr, which itself takes care of the entire investment in the Eco-City Action Plan.

Page 37: Eco-City Action Plan

Estimated savings in Health Sector

Government norms of medical reimbursement per household are US$ 325 per year. This amount gets generally spent

If an amount of US$100 out of US $325 is saved then this would entail savings of US$16million( for 0.16 million households in SMK)

This saving will be due to improved environment, less pollution and hence better health.

Concluding Observations

Process is as important as the outcomes

Community involvement should be the core of the

process

Awareness programs must be linked to actions for

better effectiveness and sustainability

Partnerships should be forged for multi-stakeholder

engagement

Page 39: Eco-City Action Plan

Concluding ObservationsEfforts to be made during implementation to set up key indicators and methodologies supported by surveys to assess the intangible benefits in monetary terms to the extent possible.

Eco-City Action Plan, when developed considering economic, environmental and social perspectives, leads to investments that pay off. The returns are through efficiency gains, conservation of resources, green jobs and benefits to health.

Eco-city Action Plan thus leads to Green Economy and demonstrates the Eco-Logic of an Eco-City!
