Green growth means fostering economic growth and development while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services upon which our well-being relies. Green growth brings about multiple social and economic benefits. Together with Ecofys, Ecologic Institute produced a brochure, which highlights examples of green growth that stem from a range of sectors (energy, buildings, transport, agriculture and industry) and are located throughout Central, Eastern and Southern Europe. The brochure presents cutting-edge technologies, forward-thinking entrepreneurs, smart combinations of financing options, and innovative project designs from across Europe. The brochure is available for download.

Some of these projects have been developed in times of economic crisis or in the context of less supportive policy frameworks. The selected projects shall serve as examples to be replicated in other municipalities, countries or businesses and support market actors in facilitating and running green projects.
