Activity 2: Green Economy
Introduction: The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Global Forum on
Environment on “Towards Quantifying the Links between Environment and Economic Growth” was held
on 24-25 October 2016 at the OECD Conference Centre, Paris.
The objectives of the Global Forum were to provide a platform for policy experts, academics and
government officials from OECD and developing countries to explore how a well-managed natural
environment can contribute to economic growth and how such an effective and efficient regulatory
system can be designed. The Forum was organized across three themes:
•
•
•
how economic growth affects the environment;
how environmental degradation affects economic growth; and
how environmental policies can help to make the most out of environmental protection and
economic growth.
For this activity, please use the attached .pdf file which is a section of the Conference report on “Green
Economic Growth”.
Instructions: Please respond to the questions below using the pdf file found on the Bb site for this
assignment. Be sure to use a distinct font color or highlighting of your responses so I can identify them
within the document. Once completed, save your answers and upload to Blackboard before the
deadline.
On page 63, there are two graphs. The graph on the left shows “Pollution-adjusted GDP growth”. In
general terms, explain why this value is lower than GDP growth.
1. On page 69 there are two graphs as well. Looking at the graph on the left, we see population
exposure to outdoor particular matter (PM) that is greater than 2.5 micrograms per square
meter.
a. Which countries have had a significant decline in air quality in 2015 as compared with
the 1998 values?
b. What are some of the reasons why you think this might be?
2. On page 73, the graph on the right shows us the percent of natural land lost and also gained
between the years 1992 to 2015. Which countries have had more than 6% of their natural land
lost during this time period?
3. Read over the short section starting at the bottom of page 71 titled “Land cover, land use and
biodiversity”.
a. Why do you think land cover change is used as an indication of biodiversity loss?
b. What has been the global loss of natural land since 1992?
c. For developed countries (advanced economies) what type of land use was most natural
land converted to?
d. How does this differ for less-developed countries (emerging economies)?
