Towards green growth - OECD Strategy Report

In June 2009, Ministers from 34 countries signed a Green Growth Declaration, declaring that they will: "Strengthen their efforts to pursue green growth strategies as part of their responses to the crisis and beyond, acknowledging that green and growth can go hand -in- hand". At that time they endorsed a mandate for the OECD to develop a Green Growth Strategy, bringing together economic, environmental, social, technological, and development aspects into a comprehensive framework.

Last week in Paris and during the Ministerial meeting as part of the 50th Anniverssary FORUM, the OECD delivered a report presenting the Green Growth Strategy that summarise the work done so far.

The Strategy provide an actionable policy framework for policy makers in advanced, emerging and developing countries, means, that policy framework is designed to be flexible enough to be tailored to different national circumstances and stages of development.
