OECD WORK ON
Green growth and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Green growth is a subset of sustainable development. It entails an operational policy agenda that can help achieve concrete, measurable progress at the interface of the economy and the environment. It fosters the necessary conditions for innovation, investment and competition that can give rise to new sources of economic growth that are consistent with resilient ecosystems.

Green growth strategies need to pay specific attention to the social issues and equity concerns that can arise as a direct result of greening the economy. This means that strategies should be implemented in parallel with initiatives focusing on the broader economic, social and environmental pillars of sustainable development. The Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and the SDGs are today the norm for all countries, developed and developing alike. The OECD supports the United Nations in ensuring the success of the 2030 Agenda by bringing knowledge and expertise to inform policies through; data and evidence-based analysis, best practices identified through developing and developed countries’ own approaches, and guidance and lessons on innovative ways to implement green growth strategies.
