UN-BACKED WEBSITE AIMS TO AID 'GREEN'-MINDED GOVERNMENTSNew York, Jan
22 2014 4:00PMAs the international community lays the groundwork for
sustainable development goals after 2015, the United Nations
environment agency today backed a new website that compiles hundreds
of technical and policy resources to help decision-makers transition
to green economic growth.

"The <"http://www.greengrowthknowledge.org/">Green Growth Knowledge
Platform provides a much needed tool to bridge knowledge gaps,
exchange information and deliver policy guidance to accelerate and
support the transition towards green economic development,"
<"http://www.greengrowthknowledge.org/news/ggkp-launches-office-geneva-and-new-web-platform">said
Achim Steiner, Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme
(UNEP).

"A transformation towards a green economy is not just about the
environment. It must be a priority across all facets of the post-2015
development agenda in order to deliver growth and prosperity and
improved livelihoods," he added, stressing the need for "a holistic
and far-sighted approach."

The website features a searchable e-library with over 600 technical
and policy resources, as well as dashboards with data and policies for
193 countries.

It is part of the Geneva-based Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP)
founded in 2012 by UNEP, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD), the World Bank and the Global Green Growth
Institute.

Based on the idea that green growth knowledge and suitable policies
could be shared and applied by different countries, the platform
collects and processes theoretical knowledge and practical experience
and makes it available to interested countries interested in
implementing green economic policies.

As of this month, the GGKP confirms agreements with 29 knowledge
partners, including international organizations, research institutes
and think tanks. It will work with these partners to promote
collaboration and coordinated research on a number of priority themes,
including green growth indicators and measurement, trade and
competitiveness and green technology and innovation, according to the
news release.

UNEP will host the GGKP's next Annual Conference this September in its
headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya.Jan 22 2014 4:00PM
