Sustainable Development
Environmental problems like climate change pose huge risks to poor countries. The development strategies of low income countries must be aligned with pathways to net zero sustainable development. This creates both risks and opportunities. Our research argues that the role of environmental policy is to manage the provision and use of environmental resources in a way that supports improvements in prosperity and wellbeing, for current and future generations. We explore promising fiscal, economic and environmental policy interventions for climate-compatible growth. It analyses development strategies, investment opportunities and business models for clean, resilient and sustainable development.
