Towards a Green Economy - Pathways to Sustainable Development
and Poverty Eradication (advance online edition)
A report that was compiled by UNEP’s Green Economy Initiative in col-
laboration with economists and experts worldwide. GA prepared the
layout and design of the report. The online version was launched on
21 February 2011 at the annual meeting of the world’s environment
ministers held in Nairobi. The report demonstrates that the greening
of economies is not generally a drag on growth but rather a new engine
of growth; that it is a net generator of decent jobs, and that it is also a
vital strategy for the elimination of persistent poverty. The report also
seeks to motivate policy makers to create the enabling conditions for
increased investments in a transition to a green economy.
Green Hills, Blue Cities: An Ecosystems Approach to Water Resource
Management for African Cities
A Rapid Response Assessment report prepared by GRID-Arendal for
UNEP and UN-HABITAT and launched in Cape Town on the occasion
of World Water Day 21 March 2011. The report describes the rapid ur-
banisation that is changing Africa’s landscape and generating chal-
lenges for supplies of water and sanitation services. It provides case
studies of cities in several parts of the region where high urbanisation
rates are not matched with adequate water and sanitation infrastruc-
ture. It also outlines actions towards reversing the unsustainable path.
