Volume 3: Green Growth Good Practices
This volume 3 presents the 15 good practices that have been collected during the project. Each good practice refers back to the developed Framework (presented in Volume 1, Section 3) and highlights how that particular urban project example helps cities to achieve the visions of green growth described in this report
This study provides an overview of development trends and environmental performance as well as policy strategies to promote green growth in seven Asian countries - China, India, Indonesia, Philippines, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. Despite emerging green growth strategies and green industries in the region, Asian economies are far from becoming green, resource-efficient and sustainable. The emerging discourse on green growth and climate change offers both opportunities as well as new challenges for promoting a broader greening of Asian economies. There are various entry-points and recommendations for policy action, including an appropriate institutional framework and fiscal incentives as well as the support to environmental innovations and decent green job creation.
The study gives an overview of the international debate on issues related to green jobs and the green economy and the associated definitions, concepts and measurement approaches. The study provides an overview of the central instruments for promoting a green economy and employment in it and integrates them in an overall taxanomy. The authors discuss the role of the accompanying employment and labour market policy instruments and present the most important methods for identifying and assessing the employment impacts of a greening of the economy. On that basis, a series of recommendations for action are formulated to promote employment within the framework of green economy strategies for the context of development cooperation.
