Measuring Inclusive Green Growth at the Country Level: Taking Stock of Measurement Approaches and Indicators

This paper, produced through the GGKP Research Committee on Measurement and Indicators aims to improve the understanding of tools available for measuring IGG. It explore four approaches to measure IGG: a dashboard of indicators, composite indicators, environmental footprints, and “adjusted” economic measures. Moreover, it outlines main measurement themes and aspects relevant for IGG (natural assets, resource efficiency and decoupling, resilience and risks, economic opportunities and efforts, and inclusiveness); it reviews measurement approaches and indicators available for tracking progress towards IGG; and it identifies the main gaps where investments research, indicator development and data collection are needed.
