The 2011 Green Growth Strategy provided initial guidance to governments on how to
achieve economic growth and development, while preventing costly environmental damage
and inefficient resource use. What progress have countries made in aligning economic
and environmental priorities since 2011? This report attempts to evaluate this progress
and highlight where there is broad scope to heighten the ambition and effectiveness
of green growth policy. It draws lessons from green growth mainstreaming across the
OECD’s work programme, notably in terms of how governments can maximise institutional
settings to seize economic opportunities surrounding the transition to a green economy,
and considers ways to enrich the Green Growth Strategy based on work undertaken since
its launch.
