LE ISTITUZIONI EUROPEE

GREEN ECONOMY

:

DEFINITIONS

1. The EUROPEAN COMMISSION: “it is an economy that

generates growth, creates jobs and eradicates poverty by

investing in and preserving the resources of the natural

capital on which depends the survival of our planet”

(The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and

2. The OECD

Development): the “green growth” is an economic growth

that knows how to reduce pollution, greenhouse gas

emission and waste, while preserving the natural heritage

and its resources.

the United Nations Environment Program

3. The UNEP ( ) : it is

an economy with low carbon emission, resource-efficient

and socially inclusive, which produces human well-being and

social equity, while reducing environmental risks.

They share the same concept: the centrality of the green

economy in the pursuit of a more sustainable

development.

WHY GREEN GROWTH ?

The global recession has brought new attention to

structural problems in current economic models. The

growth of the world economy is putting unsustainable

pressure on Earth’s resources.

WHAT IS IT CONCERNED WITH?

It is an economy concerned with being:

environmentally sustainable

• socially just

• locally rooted

• .

WHAT IS IT BASED ON?

According to the Total Environmental Impact model a green economy is

based on:

• renewable energy

• clean transportation

• green building

• water, waste and land management

A CHALLENGE?

The EU vision is of an economy that grows while respecting resource

constraints. To become more resource-efficient, millions of companies and

consumers will need to transform the ways they produce and consume.

Europe 2020, the EU's growth strategy, aims to make the EU a smart,

sustainable and inclusive economy. One of the building blocks of this

initiative is the Roadmap to a Resource-Efficient Europe. It shows the way to

a more sustainable economy, with policy initiatives that aim to stimulate

greater innovation for short-term and long-term economic and

environmental benefits.
