Green Economy Report to be Launched in Late 2010

Since last July, Millennium Institute has been involved in producing the Green Economy Report, a ground-breaking study being conducted as part of the Green Economy Initiative (GEI) of UNEP. The Report, to be published in late 2010, uses economic analysis and modeling approaches to demonstrate that greening the economy across a range of sectors can drive economic recovery and growth and lead to future prosperity and job creation, while at the same time addressing social inequalities and environmental challenges. A preview of the report has been released and can be downloaded here.

The Report explains the core principles and concepts underlying a green economy and makes the case for the more sustainable use of natural, human and economic capital. It examines the actions governments can take to facilitate the transition to a Green Economy and the key policy tools and supporting infrastructure that can influence investment and consumption decisions.

The Report is targeted at decision-makers and seeks to influence business leaders, and explain in simple terms, the need for increased environmental investments to promote sustainable economic growth, generate employment, reduce poverty and increase quality of life.
