Setting the context
The Green Economy:
• Involves several sectors
• Requires the involvement of several actors
• Has been known for a long time

Main advantages: - Technology development and international leadership - Private sector profitability (from leadership) - Employment creation - Low carbon development (replacing coal with wind power)
Main advantages: - Technology development and international leadership - Potential private sector profitability (from leadership
and use of technology) - New business opportunities from waste reuse - Improved performance across sectoral value chains
- Employment creation - Reduced pollution (also avoiding costs of remediation)

Hydrogen: 1990 -
Main advantages: - Technology development and international leadership - Potential private sector profitability (from leadership) - Employment creation - Low carbon development (power storage capacity)

Setting the context (2)
So far:
• There are no assessments at the national level
• The are over 300 sectoral assessments across countries

In islands, the LCOE of a solar PV rooftop system with a capacity factor of 15% is comprised between 0.12 and 0.18 US$/kW, compared to an average electricity price of 0.35 -1 US$/kWh (oversized diesel in small island resorts). PV can generate electricity cheaper than the short-run marginal cost of most islands generators

Setting the context (3)
So far:
• Some easy solutions have been found:
– Substitution (energy)
– Conservation (energy and water)
• Some difficulties have emerged:
– High capital cost
– Resistance to behavioral change (e.g. diet)
– Uncertainty (mitigation vs adaptation)
