Abstract:

The term “green growth” and its sister concepts, “green economy” and “sustainable development,” have attracted attention worldwide in recent years. Green Growth means fostering economic growth and development while simultaneously combating climate change and preventing costly environmental degradation and the inefficient use of resources. Green growth is a means of achieving sustainable development. The advocates of green growth argue that green and growth can go hand-in-hand. This paper briefly presents an introduction to green growth.

Keywords:

Green growth, sustainable growth, green/sustainable development, green economy.
