Green Economy
Bibliozone
"The green development path should maintain, enhance and, where necessary, rebuild natural capital as a critical economic asset and source of public benefits, especially for the poor whose livelihoods and security depends strongly on nature."
Achim Steiner - UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme

In February 2015, Foresight For Development turns the spotlight on green economy.
Featured in Bibliozone this month is a collection of publications related to the future of a green economy. The selection of documents is partial and based on accessible material. Therefore, we would like to invite everyone to supplement our library with additional materials.
