The Green Economy Initiative (GEI) is designed to assist governments in

greening their economies by reshaping and refocusing policies,

investments and spending towards the range of sectors, such as clean

technologies, renewable energies, water services, green transportation,

waste management, green buildings, sustainable agriculture and forests.

Greening the economy refers to reconfiguring businesses and infrastructure

to deliver better returns on natural, human and economic capital

investments, while at the same time reducing greenhouse gas emissions,

extracting less natural resources, creating less waste and reducing social disparities.
