                        What is a ‘Green Economy’?

                 The term ‘green economy’ refers to a low-carbon, resource-efficient and socially inclusive economy. In a green economy,
                 public and private investment in economic activities, infrastructure and assets that allow for lower carbon emissions and
                 pollution, improved energy and resource efficiency and the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services drive
                 employment and income growth.
                 A green economy does not replace sustainable development; rather, it places a fresh emphasis  on the economy,
                 investment, capital and infrastructure, jobs and skills, and beneficial social and environmental consequences throughout
                 Asia and the Pacific. Targeted public spending, policy reforms and changes in taxation and regulation are all needed to
                 enable and promote these green initiatives. The Green Economy is a macroeconomic approach to long-term economic
                 growth that emphasizes investments, job creation and skill development.
