Sustainable Development
the goal of Sustainable Development is ”to meet
the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.
Bruntland Definition,

Green Growth
GG aims to foster economic growth and development,
while ensuring that natural assets are used
sustainably, and continue to provide the resources
and environmental services on which the growth and well-
being rely. OECD (2011), “Towards Green Growth:
Monitoring Progress - OECD Indicators”,
OECD, Paris
GG is growth that is efficient in its use of natural resources,
that it minimises pollution and environmental impacts,
resilient because it accounts for natural hazards

Green Economy
Towards a Green Economy
A system of economic activities related to
the production, distribution and consumption
of goods and services that improve the well-
being in the long term, while not exposing
future generations to social risks and
ecological scarcities

• recognizing and documenting smallholder farmers’ land and water
rights in irrigation schemes
• strengthening women’s secure access to land
• using geographic information systems to map land and natural
resource rights, use and management
• identifying best practices in securing these rights through
business partnerships between smallholder farmers and investors
To improve access to land for the poor (especially women,
minorities and other disadvantaged groups) who wish to
practice agriculture.

Countries should continue their efforts to manage natural
resources in a sustainable manner.
Price instruments (pricing et
al.), supplemented by
regulations or subsidies have
encouraged green growth.
The main challenge to foster GE is to coordinate policies and
to develop indicators and tools for monitoring the progress of
implementation.
Innovation is essential
to foster green growth
