Its nonprescriptive findings for policy-makers and practitioners are designed to inform country-led efforts to transition to greener, more inclusive economies that help eradicate poverty. The report highlights the social and environmental opportunities for investing in environmentally sustainable growth policies, as well as lessons learned from designing and implementing national and sector-based green economy initiatives. The report draws on a range of UNDP commissioned case studies covering: environmental fiscal reform, employment generation programmes, sustainable ecosystem management, ecotourism, energy, waste management, and reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.
