Green Growth Research

Green Growth is the focus of a 12-month research that VIU will carry out with the support of the ENEL Foundation in collaboration with the Regional Environmental Center (REC).

Green Growth and Green Economy concepts derive from the need to combine economic activity with preserving a clean and safe environment. Today they represent the new goal for all of the countries around the world.

The need of a critical assessment of the debate around these concepts and of organizing it around strategies with concrete implications on policies is at the basis of the research project that the Venice International University will carry out in the next 12 months, supported by the ENEL Foundation and in collaboration with the Regional Environmental Center – REC.

The research project is meant to produce working papers on specific issues related to this theme, in particular on appropriate policies to promote green growth, economic and environmental regulation to promote eco-innovation, with a special focus on energy and the social challenges related to a green economy.

The working papers will be presented and discussed during open seminars, involving experts and interested stakeholders to further contribute to the debate.
