YES. only understanding that 'green' is not a technological revolution like ICT, will we realise that it depends on governments having a clear strategy, with policies that will make green investment and innovation more profitable than the other options
My new chapter with @CarlotaPrzPerez in The Oxford Handbook on the Greening of Economic Development. We argue that the green transformation is not an add-on to development - it is a new techno-economic trajectory reshaping industry and innovation. https://t.co/Jg1IaKHdL1
