Invitation to book launch

Green Industrial Policy: Concept, Policies, Country Experiences

Venue: Beijing Tanglayaxiu Hotel

Time: 19:30-20:30h, 9 December, 2017

The Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE), a joint initiative of UN Environment, UNIDO, UNDP, ILO and

UNITAR, and the German Development Institute (DIE) invite you to the launch event for their report “Green

Industrial Policy: Concept, Policies, Country Experiences”.

Economic development in the age of industrialization has been achieved at the cost of severe overexploitation of

natural resources. Humanity is approaching various ecological tipping points beyond which abrupt and irreversible environmental change at large geographical scale is likely to happen. This calls for countries to fundamentally rethink

their development pathways and switch to sustainable practices. At the same time, countries need to foster structural change in ways that increase productivity and enhance prosperity.

The report looks at these two challenges in conjunction. How can countries at different levels of socio-economic

development manage the structural transformation towards ‘green’, environmentally sustainable economies in

ways that also improve the material well-being of people? Can poor countries in particular achieve both objectives

in tandem, and how can they deal with potential trade-offs? Building on the expertise of two dozen authors, the

report i l lustrates the social and economic co-benefits of green industrial policy and analyzes policy instruments

supporting the transition to economic structures that balance environmental sustainability and wealth creation.

The Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) was launched in 2013 as a response to the call at Rio+20 to

support those countries wishing to embark on greener and more inclusive growth trajectories.

PAGE seeks to put sustainability at the heart of economic policies and practices to advance the 2030 Agenda for

Sustainable Development and supports nations and regions in reframing economic policies and practices around

sustainability to foster economic growth, create income and jobs, reduce poverty and inequality, and strengthen the

ecological foundations of their economies.

PAGE brings together five UN agencies – UN Environment, International Labour Organization, UN Development

Programme, UN Industrial Development Organization, and UN Institute for Training and Research – whose mandates,

expertises and networks combined can offer integrated and holistic support to countries on inclusive green economy,

ensuring coherence and avoiding duplication.

Venue: Beijing Tanglayaxiu Hotel, No.19 Fuxingmen Wai Dajie, Xicheng District, Beijing

《绿色产业政策：概念，政策，和国家经验》报告发布会

邀请函

地点：北京唐拉雅秀酒店

时间：2017 年 12 月 9 日 19:30-20:30

绿色经济行动合作伙伴关系（PAGE）是一个由联合国环境署（UN Environment）、联合国工业发

展组织(UNIDO)、联合国开发计划署(UNDP)，国际劳工组织(ILO)和联合国训练研究所(UNITAR)共同

发起的倡议，在此，PAGE 倡议伙伴成员携手德国发展研究所（DIE）诚挚地邀请您参加《绿色产

业政策报告》的发布会。

在工业化时代，经济发展是在以过度开发自然资源的基础上实现的。人类正在接近各种生态临界

点。在这种情况下，很可能会发生突然和不可逆转的环境变化。这就要求各个国家从根本上重新

思考其发展道路，转向可持续发展的做法。与此同时，各国需要以提高生产率和促进繁荣的方式

促进结构改革。

本报告直面这两项挑战的交融。不同社会经济发展水平的国家如何管理结构性的转型以迈向“绿

色”、环境可持续的经济体，同时这种方式还可能够改善人民物质福利？贫困的国家能否同时实

现这两个目标，它们如何处理潜在的权衡取舍？该报告以 20 多位作者的专业知识为基础，阐述了

绿色产业政策的社会与经济协同利益，并分析了那些支持经济结构转型的政策工具，用以平衡环

境可持续性和财富创造。
