We need a healthy environment to survive.
We need economic development to thrive.
Green growth is the pursuit of economic development in an environmentally sustainable manner.
Green growth seeks to spur investment and innovation in ways that give rise to new, more sustainable sources of economic activity and jobs.
For green growth to succeed as a transformative development strategy,
it must be supportive of good governance, transparency, and equity.
In short, it must be INCLUSIVE.
Decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation is embodied in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Yet, challenges to large-scale adoption of green growth policies remain.
