Definition Green growth is about fostering economic
growth and development whileensuring that the natural assets continue to provide the resources andenvironmental services on which our well-being relies. To do this it must catalyzeinvestment and innovation which will underpin sustained growth and give rise tonew economic opportunities. (Source: OECD) Other variations exist

Green growth Green growth is gaining support as a way to
pursue economic growth and development, while preventing environmental degradation, biodiversity loss and unsustainable natural resource use.
Developing countries often have a larger share of their economies directly dependent on natural resources
-> green economy and green growth issues become even more relevant

Context GG/GE is usually framed in the
context of sustainability
“Green economy and green growth within the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication” has been a theme of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) in 2012 (Rio+20)

Measuring green growth
Developing and implementing framework conditions that promote green growth requires a good understanding of the determinants of green growth and of related trade-offs or synergies.
It also requires appropriate statistical information to support policyanalysis and to monitor progress.

Measuring green growth
We need: Methodology (Concepts, measurement
framework) Indicators Underlying data sets
Difficulty Defining green growth in statistical terms
Example: Green jobs

Measuring green growth OECD has proposed an ambitious
measurement framework

Measuring green growth
UN Development account project Develop methodology Select indicators Assist countries in producing data
![Page 9: UNSD Energy-related indicators to inform on Green Growth issues.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082506/56649d0c5503460f949dfc5b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Development account project Methodology will use existing frameworks
and existing data sets as much as possible Examples: FDES, SEEA, Energy statistics and
balances
Target achievable indicator sets For short-term measurable results, focus
on: energy use structure of energy supply/use energy efficiency

Development account project
Project will focus on Asian and South American region
Regional work plus selected pilot countries
Time frame: 2012-2015

2012 – International Year of sustainable energy for all
Goals: Ensure universal access to modern
energy services. Reduce global energy intensity by 40 per
cent. Increase renewable energy use globally
to 30 per cent.
