A guidebook to the Green Economy
Sustainable development has been the overarching goal of the international community since the
UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992. Amongst numerous
commitments, the Conference called upon governments to develop national strategies for
sustainable development, incorporating policy measures outlined in the Rio Declaration and
Agenda 21. Despite the efforts of many governments around the world to implement such
strategies as well as international cooperation to support national governments, there are
continuing concerns over global economic and environmental developments in many countries.
These have been intensified by recent prolonged global energy, food and financial crises, and
underscored by continued warnings from global scientists that society is in danger of transgressing
a number of planetary boundaries or ecological limits.
