Green Growth

The OECD Green Growth database contains selected indicators for monitoring progress towards green growth to support policy making and inform the public at large. The indicators have been structured around four groups to capture the main features of green growth:

• Environmental and resource productivity: indicate whether economic growth is becoming greener with more efficient use of natural capital and to capture aspects of production which are rarely quantified in economic models and accounting frameworks;
• The natural asset base: indicate the risks to growth from a declining natural asset base;
• Environmental dimension of quality of life: indicate how environmental conditions affect the quality of life and wellbeing of people;
• Economic opportunities and policy responses: indicate the effectiveness of policies in delivering green growth and describe the societal responses needed to secure business and employment opportunities.

Data source(s): The database synthesises data according to well-specified criteria, across a wide range of domains from both OECD databases and external data sources.
