The Group of Friends of the UN/GA's Thematic Debate on the Green Economy convened the 2nd workshop in its series, to discuss “Opportunities and Concerns of the Green Economy.”
The key messages on green economy emerging from the presentations and discussion, according to closing remarks, were that a green economy can be: a pathway for correcting systemic market and institutional failures of the prevailing development model; an effective tool for advancing sustainable development goals; and compatible with growth, jobs, and competitiveness.
The 3rd and final workshop in the series, on "Green Economy Pathways," will take place on 19 April 2011, followed by a retreat for Permanent Representatives on the topic "The Green Economy: Building a common understanding and roadmap" in May 2011, and the UN/GA's thematic debate on "Green Economy: A pathway to sustainable development," on 2 June 2011.
