The Green Growth Potential Assessment (GGPA) is a diagnostic tool that combines data analysis and stakeholder consultation. Its purpose is to identify and prioritize a country’s opportunities for green growth as well as to develop specific recommendations for each of the identified priorities. During the past three years, the assessment process has been successfully concluded in seven countries: Cambodia, Colombia, Lao PDR, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, and Peru. This report, Green Growth Potential Assessment: Synthesis report, summarizes the experiences in each country and discusses the lessons learned during that period.
This report broadens the ways for defining and measuring poverty. It introduces a multi-dimensional poverty measure that is anchored on household consumption and the international poverty line of $1.90 per person per day, but broadens the measure by including information on access to education and basic infrastructure. In addition, in a sample of six countries, the multidimensional approach was extended to include two more dimensions—on health and nutrition and on security from crime and natural disaster.
This paper develops and operationalises the Integrated Economic-Environmental Modelling (IEEM) platform, which integrates environmental data organised under the first international standard for environmental-economic accounting with a powerful economy-wide modelling approach.
This report provides an overview of methodologies to evaluate the effectiveness of policy instruments for biodiversity, covering impact evaluation, cost-effectiveness analysis, and other approaches.
