Green economy' debate now in Botswana

The landmark workshop was meant to raise awareness and strengthen Botswana's contribution to the international debate around the concept of the green economy that was introduced by countries in Western Europe, the United States and Canada.

Although there is no firm global agreement and understanding of the concept of the green economy, its main thrust is to come up with programmes and processes aimed at regulating consumption and an ideal economic behaviour through socio-economic policies that are environmentally friendly.
