The Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment (London School of Economics and Political Science) is pleased to invite you to a conference to be held at the Royal Society of Arts, London.

The conference will present the key results from a two year research programme conducted by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment (GRI) and supported by the Global Green Growth Institute(GGGI). Its aim has been to understand better the links between environmental protection, growth and development (focusing on climate change) and to strengthen the analytical and empirical underpinnings of the ‘green growth’ concept in relation to both developing and developed countries.

The full day event will feature GRI researchers and invited experts and include sessions on the following:

• The ‘green growth’ narrative and the GRI research programme
• Macroeconomics: jobs, poverty and green growth
• Assessing the impacts of innovation and other climate-change policies
• Evidence from economic history about the sources of growth and the role of policy
• Growth and adaptation to climate change
• The future of the green growth paradigm
