Clean growth

Clean growth

Clean growth is a way to achieve economic growth, using clean technology, and allowing sustainable development.

The aim is to rise standard of living with a reduced environmental impact.

Scientists and politicians use this terminology. For example, Nicolas Sarkozy said :

Our first goal is to find the way to achieve "clean" growth and I want to defend this idea here today. We haven't got to choose between saving the planet and growth. We need to have growth and save the planet. So we need a growth that consumes less energy and fewer raw materials. A new economy must be invented.[1]
