Under the overall theme of "Multilayer Partnerships and Coalition as the Basis for 3Rs Promotion in Asia and the Pacificï¿½," the Fifth Regional 3R Forum in Asia and the Pacific aims to address various forms of partnerships and coalition for implementation of the Ha Noi 3R Declaration (2013-2013). The multilayer partnerships among key stakeholders are essential for effective promotion and implementation of 3Rs which is much beyond municipal waste management, and are intrinsically linked with resource efficiency in a wide range of key development sectors such as agriculture, industry, and energy, among others, toward transitioning to a resource efficient economy and society.
