Measuring progress in the transition to a green economy is a complex and multi-dimensional challenge. The development of green growth indicators and data are critical to understand, assess and communicate these efforts, including how they relate to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Recognizing that there is neither a consensus on an analytical framework nor a set of indicators with which to measure green growth, the GGKP Metrics and Indicators Research Committee recently published a global study, taking stock of approaches and indicators for measuring inclusive green growth at the country level and outlining key gaps and opportunities for new efforts in data collection, methodological work and indicator development.
On 20 April 2016 (4:00 PM CEST), the GGKP held a webinar, debating where and how we can improve the way we measure our progress towards an inclusive green economy, including how this relates to the SDGs. The webinar, moderated by Professor Carlo Carraro, featured a presentation by the two Co-Chairs of the GGKP Metrics and Indicators Research Committee Ulf Narloch (World Bank) and Tomasz Kozluk (OECD), and an intervention by Eve de la Mothe Karoubi (SDSN) who touched on the relevance to the SDG indicator negotiations. This was followed by a moderated discussion with the audience.
