The International Center for Climate Governance (ICCG) is pleased to invite you to attend the lecture “Inclusive Green Growth: The Pathway for Sustainable Development”, organised in collaboration with Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
Developing countries need rapid economic growth to tackle poverty and achieve prosperity. However, environmental degradation and climate change clearly demonstrate that the growth model of the past is not sustainable. “Inclusive Green Growth: the Pathway to Sustainable Development” argues that greening growth is necessary if we want to achieve sustainable development; that it is possible to grow greener without necessarily growing slower given the inefficiencies currently in our economic system; but it recognizes that it is challenging: success will require tackling entrenched behavior; the complex political economy of reform, and the need for new financing instruments.
Marianne Fay, Chief Economist of the World Bank’s Sustainable Development Network (SDN), will provide a comprehensive overview of the World Bank report “Inclusive Green Growth: The Pathway to Sustainable Development”. In the report, World Bank economists set out an economic argument and framework for countries to begin greening their growth. It is therefore of crucial importance for Italy’s future economic development.
Introduced by Carlo Carraro, President, Ca’ Foscari University, Venice – Director, International Center for Climate Governance (ICCG).
The working language of the lecture will be English.
