"Green Growth that Works presents the current state of policy and finance tools that allow governments, civil society, and businesses to protect the ecosystem services that make human life possible. Familiar approaches such as government payments, laws and regulations, water funds, and market-based mechanisms can be tailored for specific environmental contexts. The book features case studies that demonstrate how these tools are being used around the world to promote new sources of capital growth that make economic, environmental, and social sense." -- Back cover. |
