The term “green economy” has become something of an incantation, a promise of future jobs and prosperity, technological advances that will lead to benign ways of generating wealth and lessen the effects of climate change, and a way of sustainably conducting business.
Join us for a discussion of the challenges and opportunities presented by the green economy, as panelists address these questions:
- How accurately can we gauge the size and scope of the “green economy”?
- How can we gauge the quantity and quality of “green” invention and technological innovation?
- How can we illuminate the pathway from green invention/innovation to job creation and prosperity via entrepreneurship?
