Green growth is an action-oriented paradigm which promotes a mutually supportive relationship between growth and the environment by holistically embracing the framework ofsustainable growth.
At the depth of the global economic crisis, Korea launched a Green New Deal with a large investment in the green sector. In concert with the government, businesses have been investing boldly in such technologies as new and renewable energy, electric cars, rechargeable batteries and LEDs. Market-driven green growth has now taken hold and the transformation towards a green economy is accelerating.
Green growth will also improve the quality of life by bringing a green revolution into daily life. Korea’s green growth will help the country enhance its contribution to the development of the global community. With this contribution, Korea hopes to serve as a role model, a responsible member committed to the creation of responsibility for the planet.
