Norway’s role in supporting green growth in developing countries

Abstract

This report discusses green growth in developing countries, and Norway's role supporting such a green development strategy. After defining green growth in the context of developing countries, the report discusses indicators of green growth, barriers, and prominent instruments to facilitate green growth. Two case studies are presented, the first on green bonds in Ethiopia, and the second on introducing a green growth credit mechanism. The report concludes with some general findings, and findings linked to the two case studies.
