Measuring the Performance of Green Economic Development in the Republic of Moldova: National Report based on the OECD set of Green Growth Indicators

The green growth concept has been promoted in the Republic of Moldova as a model of social and economic development for economic growth, improved human well-being and social equity. Its goal is to achieve a low-carbon, resource-efficient and socially inclusive economy, significantly reducing environmental risks and the impact on human health. The efforts to green the Moldova’s economy have been reinforced by the establishment of the Inter-ministerial Working Group on Sustainable Development and Green Economy and the development of the Road Map on Green Economy which outlined short- and medium-term actions for 2018- 2020 and of the Environmental Strategy for the period 2014-2023. Measuring the performance of the green economic development will be a vital part of sustainable economic and environmental governance in the Republic of Moldova. This report is intended to support these activities, providing background and establishing a national framework for monitoring and implementing Green Growth Indicators, as well as for the Road Map on Green Economy promotion.
