Green Growth Indicators 2017
Author: OECD
Date: 2017
Abstract: Green growth policies need to be founded on a good understanding of the determinants of green growth and need to be supported with appropriate indicators to monitor progress. This book presents a selection of updated and new indicators that illustrate the progress that OECD and G20 countries have made since the 1990s. It updates the 2014 edition. Our ability to sustain economic and social progress in the long run will depend on our capacity to reduce dependence on natural capital as a source of growth, abate pollution, enhance the quality of physical and human capital and reinforce our institutions. Delivering the quality of growth to which citizens aspire requires concerted action across countries and within ministries invested in green growth – finance, economy, industry, trade and agriculture, among others. This report provides information on the results achieved by OECD and G20 countries since 1990. The indicators help answer four questions that are at the heart of green growth: - Are we becoming more efficient in using natural resources and environmental services? - How does greening the economy generate opportunities for growth and development? - Is the natural asset base of our economies maintained? - Does greening growth generate benefits for people?
