Abstract

The fundamental challenge that a green economy poses to all government agencies is to unify, harmonize and integrate work on the social, environmental and economic dimensions of sustainable development. Linking "green" and "economic" with human well-being and social justice as primary goals requires a new commitment to better measure and value human and natural assets and place them at the center of economic development. It also calls for more inclusive and proportionate growth. Investments in efficient transport systems, housing, energy efficiency, sustainable sources of biological resources and environmentally sustainable agricultural practices, among other priorities, can bring significant social benefits. For example, household energy investment to replace inefficient biomass/coal stoves with improved stoves and cleaner fuels, and the use of household waste to produce biogas, could improve the sanitation and health of 3 billion people and, in particular, the well-being of women. These linkages point to the need for a comprehensive approach that should form the basis for prioritizing investments in the green economy. Those investments that bring both environmental and social benefits should be prioritized.
