The above-mentioned United Nations Environmental Protection (UNEP) Green Economy Initiative (GEI) defines a green economy as “one that results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities”. In its simplest expression, a green economy can be thought of as one which is low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive.” Others such as OECD, World Bank and Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) use the term ‘green growth’, which is similar to the concept of green economy yet slightly different in terms of its implementation approach. The OECD Green Growth Report defines green growth as “fostering economic growth and development, while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services on which our well-being relies”. Hence, both operate on the basis of development within planetary boundaries. Growth is an element of both concepts, but the question remains what kind of growth and how do we come back, or remain, within planetary limits. In developing countries such as Sierra Leone, roughly six million people lack access to energy, water, sanitation, shelter, food, clothing and transport. Without significant growth of goods and services, it is impossible to lift these people out of poverty. Although growth does not always translate into poverty reduction, poverty reduction is always associated with growth whichever the measure of poverty is used. Whereas in industrialized countries, consumption and production patterns are unsustainable, using considerable amounts of natural resources and with related negative environmental and sometimes social impacts. The green economy seeks to drive the growth of nations, especially developing and transitioning countries.
