ICC Ten conditions for a transition towards a Green Economy (2012)
Publication date : 09/07/2012 | Document Number : 213-18/7
The private sector has already taken concrete actions towards a "green economy", including reducing environmental impacts across value chains, increasing energy and resource efficiency, investing in low-carbon and renewable energy and reducing waste.
To provide guidance for governments on key lessons learned, ICC undertook extensive analysis and consultation to determine what is required to further a transition towards a "green economy", including the development of the following ten high-level conditions towards a "green economy":
- Open and competitive markets
- Metrics, accounting, and reporting
- Finance and investment
- Awareness
- Life cycle approach
- Resource efficiency and decoupling
- Employment
- Education and skills
- Governance and partnership
- Integrated policy and decision-making
