Green Growth in Asia

Developing strategies for promoting green growth is becoming critical for Asia's quickly-developing economies as urban pollution levels and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions rise. These strategies will likely incorporate policy actions in areas such as the regulation of emissions, but will also need to go further in order to promote economic systems that do not prevent action from being taken on climate change and other pressing environmental issues. Policy makers therefore face significant challenges in building the institutions and setting the policies that provide the right incentives and support for emerging Asia's green growth. This session, which will follow the 4th OECD-AMRO-ADB Asian Regional Roundtable, will explore this agenda through OECD and RIETI research.
