Green Growth is the pathway to inclusive and sustainable growth. The Green Growth program recognizes that the lasting growth and prosperity of a country are not only reflected by the nation’s GDP, but also depend on the quality of the environment, healthy and productive ecosystems, resilient and socially inclusive and equitable. Green Growth is regarded as key to help Indonesia achieve its pro-growth, pro-job, pro-poor, and pro-environment national development agenda.
In an effort to accelerate the realization of sustainable economic growth with equity, the Government of Indonesia, supported by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), released their first joint report entitled Prioritizing Investments: Delivering Green Growth. This report highlights that green growth must lie at the heart of economic development planning. The report further highlights the innovative approach of the new joint Program, which is developing a green growth framework and a suite of tools that can be used to help mainstream green growth into existing planning and investment appraisal processes.
