World Economic and Social Survey 2011

The Great Green Technological Transformation

To meet both the global development objectives of conquering poverty and protecting the environment, the World Economic and Social Survey 2011 calls for a complete transformation of technology on which human economic activity is based. The Survey details new policy directions and major investments in developing and scaling up clean energy technologies, sustainable farming and forestry techniques, climate-proofing of infrastructure and reducing non-biodegradable waste production. This "great green technological transformation" is needed to renew Earth's capacity to sustain human life and permit developing countries to realize their aspirations towards growth and poverty reduction.
