The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has created its new Green Growth and Sustainable Development Forum (GG-SD) Forum as an annual event to focus on cross-cutting issue related to sustainable development and green growth. This first GG-SD Forum has the theme of “Encouraging the efficient and sustainable use of natural resources: policy instruments and social acceptability,” and will look at issues such as the role of natural capital in economic decision-making, how natural capital can be measured, valued and better managed, and issues related to raising and investing revenues from natural assets in support of inclusive green growth.
