Background
A range of policy options are available for driving green growth. This document outlines these options and summarises many of the issues that need to be taken into account when embarking on a green growth strategy.
Diagnose key constraints to green growth
As discussed in Towards Green Growth, there are a range of constraints which can prevent the emergence of greener growth. These will vary from country to country and depending on particular environmental issues at stake. Figure 1 develops a diagnostic framework for identifying key constraints to greening growth. It characterises constraints to green growth as factors which limit returns to ?green? investment and innovation i.e. those activities which can foster economic growth and development while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services on which our well-being relies.
