?Greening? World?s Economies Debated as Viable Pathway to Development Destination, as General Assembly Considers Shortcomings of Prevailing Growth Models
Deputy Secretary-General Says Adjustments Will Not Be Easy, but Will Pay Off In Long Term; Assembly President Says ?We Can No Longer Afford to Wait to Act?
United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro this morning made a strong call for creating a global green economy characterized by abundant jobs, sustainable livelihoods, dynamic economic growth and clean energy.
Kicking off a day-long informal General Assembly thematic debate on ?Green economy: a pathway to sustainable development?, Ms. Migiro said the green economy also must address the menaces caused by climate change, notably food and energy insecurity and deforestation.
The debate, which aimed to guide next year?s United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, known as ?Rio+20?, featured a morning panel discussion on the characteristics of the green economy and its potential for achieving sustainable development, and an afternoon discussion on approaches to create such an economy.
