Abstract

This preview of the forthcoming Green Growth, Resources and Resilience report highlights the shifts that have taken place in the outlook for the Asian and Pacific region since 2005. While the region’s countries are driving the global “green growth” agenda, the report shows that the challenge of eco-efficient economic growth and inclusive resource use is critical and still growing. Fundamental, rather than incremental changes are needed—governments must therefore take the lead in re-orienting both the “visible” and the “invisible” economic infrastructure. This preview report is intended to assist policymakers involved in the 2010 Ministerial Conference on Environment and Development in Asia and the Pacific and other stakeholders.
