A new report released by the African Development Bank (AfDB) highlights how investments in green growth can be advantageous to economic growth in Africa. The report, issued as part of the eleventh volume of “Gender, Poverty, and Environmental Indicators on African Countries,” shows how green growth in Africa will provide a higher return on investment and result in in better management of natural resources, less dependence on imports, more food security, better resilience to natural disasters and reduced energy and infrastructure costs. The report follows the recent release of the AfDB’s Strategy for 2013-2022 which identifies Africa’s transition to green growth as one of its main objectives.
