What is Green Growth and why is it important to the East Asia Pacific region?
Green Growth is a term to describe a path of economic growth which uses natural resources in a sustainable manner. It is used globally to provide an alternative concept to standard economic growth. Environment Ministers gathered at the 13th Tripartite Ministerial Meeting among Korea, China, and Japan held in Busan, Korea on April, 2011, expressed concern over the negative impact of climate change on sustainable development, ecosystems and the environment. The Ministers agreed that it is imperative for countries in Asia to continue their economic growth to alleviate poverty and to achieve social progress, while at the same they emphasized the need for increased dialogue on Green Growth by joint research, workshops and other forums.
The Green Growth seminars will be co-hosted by TDLC with Korea Development Institute (KDI) School, and Asia-Pacific Finance and Development Center (AFDC) in collaboration with the Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) - connecting with Korea, China, Japan and other countries via videoconferencing system.
