The greening of economies is not generally a drag on growth but rather a new engine of growth says this new UNEP report & outlines actions and investments needed for a global ‘green economy’ – one that is low-carbon, resource-efficient and socially-inclusive.
The Green Economy Report is compiled by UNEP’s Green Economy Initiative in collaboration with economists and experts worldwide. It demonstrates that the greening of economies is not generally a drag on growth but rather a new engine of growth; that it is a net generator of decent jobs, and that it is also a vital strategy for the elimination of persistent poverty. The report also seeks to motivate policy makers to create the enabling conditions for increased investments in a transition to a green economy.
