What is green growth?
Green growth means fostering economic growth and development while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services necessary for our well-being.
It catalyses investment and innovation, and gives rise to new sources of growth.
Green growth is not a replacement for sustainable development, but a way of putting it into practice.

“Ministers […] agreed that green growth tools and indicators can help
expand economic growth and job creation through sustainable use
of natural resources, efficiencies in the use of energy, and valuation
of ecosystem services.”
