DCED activities in the area of Green Growth
A working group on Green Growth under the DCED has been formed in 2010.The objective
of the group is to share knowledge and to raise awareness on the private sector's
contribution to Green Growth, as well as green issues related to the business enabling
environment. For example, the group has recently made a statement with
key recommendations to the Rio+20 summit in June 2012, which is available for download
on the
Rio+20 website. A joint DCED and Global Compact side event was held at the
summit, and videos have been produced to capture its key messages. For more information on the

Videos on Green Growth
Following a session with the UN Global Compact at Rio+20, the DCED has produced
a number of videos on
green and inclusive business- exploring the business models of such businesses,
and the necessary business environment and role of donors.
This short film profiles IFC's
Lighting Africa initiative, which aims to develop markets for cleaner, more
affordable and safer lighting products in Sub-Saharan Africa. Further videos on
private sector development are available on the
DCED website and YouTube
account.
