Operationalising Green Economy Transition in Africa
Green Economy is increasingly recognized as the vehicle to put Africa on a low carbon, resource efficient development path. African governments are seeking advice on how to benefit from it. The project goal was to bridge the gap between national strategies and local level decision making towards low-carbon and resource efficient development. In the end, a tool has been developed which (1) opens up the potential of an area regarding resource use and (2) provides action plans for resource efficiency and job creation. The application of the tool should in the long-run result in a better adapted economic development regarding sustainable growth.
