Green Growth Africa is a concept closely related to green economy, dedicated to catalyzing socio-economic, environmental, and technological growth in Africa's rural and urban communities, as well enhancing livelihood security and increasing economic prosperity.[1] An African initiative for sustainability of environment, nature, and renewable energy; thus extract global and policy implications from local green growth initiatives. It is based on the understanding that as long as economic growth remains a predominant goal, a decoupling of resource use and adverse environmental impacts is required. Well implemented green policies can create employment in sectors such as renewable energy, green agriculture, and or sustainable forestry.
