Green Economy

Print
A new publication by the UNEP argues that intensifying investments in clean energy can accelerate the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. A "green economy" improves human well-being while reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. For instance, sustainable agriculture and the provision of safe water are part of the seventh MDG but meeting these targets would also curb poverty and lower infant mortality rates, two separate MDGs. This new report emphasizes the interconnectedness of the MDGs and argues that a green economy can further progress on all of the MDGs.
