28 September 2012 - Ms Sherry Ayittey, Minister for Environment, Science and Technology, yesterday said government has mainstreamed the concept of green economy into national development as an important tool for pursuing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
She said therefore the ministry seeks to infuse the outcomes of the United Nations Conference for Sustainable Development (RIO+20) as early as possible into the national development agenda. She said the RIO+20 affirms the green economy as having different approaches, visions, models and tools available to each country to achieve sustainable development.
Ms Ayittey made this observation at the briefing session on the RIO+20 conference outcomes for Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA's), Development Partners and the Media in Accra.
The briefing was to apprise policymakers and development partners of the key RIO+20 outcomes and the implications on Ghana, to mobilise political support for needed follow-up actions and to launch the stakeholder discussions on the green economy. read more>>>
