The concept of "green growth" has arisen out of the high environmental cost of rapid urbanization and economic development, especially in Asia. Green growth means "environmentally sustainable economic progress to foster low-carbon, socially inclusive development," according to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. This project will address questions about why water is important, what role it plays, and how to enhance that role by analyzing case studies for the 6th World Water Forum in March, 2012. Key proposals will then support policy work at Rio+20 in June, resulting in a policy framework for action by the end of the year, which will address innovation, economic valuation of water’s eco-system services, and investment among other issues. Nautilus’ role is to help analyze the role of water in green growth, summarize exemplary case studies, prepare a report for international discussion by decision makers, and develop a policy framework to support implementation. The results will then be summarized into key messages for the UN conference on Rio+20, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Earth Summit. |
