Modelling Gobal Green Investment Scenarios: Supporting the Transition to a Global Green Economy

This report examines the economic and environmental benefits of transitioning to a green economy compared with a business-as-usual (BAU) development path. Using quantitative modelling, the report highlights that investment in key sectors such as energy, agriculture, transport, water,and forests can strengthen natural capital while sustaining long-term economic growth.

In contrast, a BAU pathway may deliver short-term growth but at the cost of rising greenhouse gas emissions, resource depletion, and ecological overshoot. Overall, the findings suggest that a green economy can support stronger, more resilient growth while improving resource efficiency and human well-being.
