Summary: | In 2012, the Mexican Presidency of the
G20 introduced inclusive green growth as a cross-cutting
priority on the G20 development agenda. The second meeting
of the G20 Development Working Group (DWG), hosted by the
Government of the Republic of Korea, took place in Seoul the
19th and 20th of March 2012. As agreed during the first DWG
meeting, this second meeting focused on the priorities for
their presidency in the first half of 2012: infrastructure,
food security and inclusive green growth (IGG). At its Seoul
meeting, the DWG also agreed that IGG co-facilitators and
relevant international organizations (IOs) should work
together in 2012 to develop a nonprescriptive good
practices guide/toolkit on enabling national policy
frameworks for inclusive green growth to support countries
who voluntarily wish to design and implement affordable and
inclusive green growth policies, with the aim of achieving
sustainable development and poverty alleviation. The toolkit
is organized as follows. First, the necessity of applying
the different tools in the context of a broad inclusive
green growth strategy is stressed, and a harmonized
framework combining approaches and tools identified by all
four IOs is set forth. Second, the document offers an
overview of key tools that can be mobilized to implement an
inclusive green growth strategy. Quick technical
descriptions of these tools are offered along with suggested
sources for further details. Finally, capacity building and
knowledge sharing initiatives are presented, with the Green
Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP) highlighted as a powerful
collaborative tool to advance policies for inclusive green economies. |
