The website discusses the relationships between green growth and developing countries, and how the OECD's contributions to green growth apply to developing countries.
3 May 2011: The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has created a website outlining its work on green growth and development.
The website discusses the relationships between green growth and developing countries, and how the OECD’s contributions to green growth apply to developing countries. In particular, it states that green growth will be different for developed countries than for developing countries, especially least developed countries (LDCs) because of: different trade-offs between the welfare of their citizenry and global environmental issues; human capital and institutional and technological capacity differences; and the high prevalence of direct dependency on natural resources for livelihoods in developing countries.
The website goes on to discuss the OECD’s work on realizing pro-poor green growth by ensuring: sound natural resource management and governance; climate resilience; and low-carbon growth. For each of these, references to further reading are given and a list of past and future green growth related events are listed. [Green growth and development website]
