smart growth

We find ourselves at a crossroads between environmental disaster and a new industrial revolution. Decoupling economic growth from environmental consumption is an ambitious goal, but also an achievable one. ‘Green Growth, Smart Growth’ by Ralf Fücks outlines a way forward in this great transformation, and does so in the conviction that the dangers posed by climate change can be overcome through a new approach to economics, innovation and proactive policymaking.

The Heinrich Böll Foundation North America interviewed with our Co-President, Ralf Fücks, about the need for a global, smart green growth strategy, outlined in his new book Green Growth, Smart Growth – A New Approach to Economics, Innovation and the Environment.
