This report seeks to document international best practices in adopting green growth strategies. It explores why some countries decide to pursue a green growth path and how they transition to such a pathway. For many countries, green growth presents an attractive opportunity to achieve poverty reduction, environmental protection, and economic growth in an integrated way. Governments which are successful in pursuing green growth focus on leveraging the synergies between these three dimensions, while managing the trade-offs efficiently and seeking to facilitate transformational change.
