Towards Green Growth - Monitoring Progress: OECD Indicators 
and Tools for Delivering Green Growth, was launched on 25 May
at a public session of the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting. 

"Ministers welcomed the Green Growth Strategy and provided guidance on future work. They agreed that green growth tools and indicators can help expand economic growth and job creation through sustainable use of natural resources, efficiencies in the use of energy, and valuation of ecosystem services.  Ministers noted that innovation, supported by a strong intellectual property rights system, is a key to countries’ abilities to achieve economic growth, create green jobs, and protect the environment."
