Continued and more inclusive growth is needed GDP per capita still very low in developing countries: 1990: $1,200 2010: $2,300 2030: $4,700* 918 million people still expected to live in poverty by 2015 3 *: in $2010, using WB growth projections

Green growth is… …economic growth that is environmentally sustainable. Not a new paradigm, but aims to operationalize sustainable development by enabling developing countries to achieve robust growth without locking themselves into unsustainable patterns. Not inherently inclusive, hence the need for specific policies to ensure the poor benefit. 5
