Green growth is a concept that combines economic development with environmental protection to sustainably improve the lives of human beings. It is based on the principle that growth should be achieved within the confines of the ecological limits of our planet, avoiding the overexploitation of natural resources. Green growth is directed not only towards increasing economic welfare and social equity, but also to creating equitable opportunities for present and future generations to enjoy healthy lives in harmony with the environment. This is pursued by investing in ecosystem services, incentivizing diverse innovative technologies, such as renewable energy sources and green production methods, as well as by promoting smart consumption habits.
