  • OECD launches ‘green economy’ consultation with developing countries

    June 22, 2012 Editor 0

    [RIO DE JANEIRO] The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has launched a consultation with developing countries on green growth — just as these countries have been criticising the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) negotiations for being disproportionately dominated by the idea.

    The consultation, ‘Green Growth and Developing Countries’, was launched yesterday (17 June) at the Fair Ideas Forum, a Rio+20 side event, organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development.

    It will comprise high level discussions on a green economy draft document, to begin this week at the Rio+20 summit (20–22 June).

    The concept of a green economy — one of two principal themes at the summit — has been heavily criticised by some developing countries.
