The Sixteenth Poverty Environment Partnership Meeting (PEP 16) was held on 16 - 18 February 2011 in Vienna, Austria.

The overarching theme was "Supporting nationally owned Green Economies to achieve the MDGs and respond to climate change." While the first day focused on economy and policy aspects of a Green Economy, including approaches and tools to factor in the economics of ecosystems and biodiversity into development, the second day was dedicated to sharing knowledge and experiences concerning governance and institutional aspects. The last day of the three-day meeting offered an opportunity for exchange on policy and implementation processes at development agency level and end with setting out future PEP work.’
