Book Description
Canadian thought leaders who participated in this CEGN exercise identified a number of opportunities associated with the green economy. However, they were not blind to the many obstacles that must be overcome before the envisioned benefits can be delivered. They saw tremendous potential for green job creation, but also for long-term economic growth as a result of enhanced productivity and global competiveness. They appreciated that the greening of Canada's economy would mean more sustainable management of the country's natural resources and a cleaner, healthier environment for generations of future Canadians. Canada would also be seen as doing its role to stabilize human-caused climate change. The effort - the process of greening the economy - would also bring healthy returns on investment to the financial community. The local nature of many green initiatives would bring the country's communities and First Nations groups closer together by encouraging greater collaboration and partnering at the local level.

Book Description
Canada's future economy will be a "green" economy. The promise of such an economy, in the environmental and economic benefits it will create is too powerful, and too positive, to ignore. But getting there will require a transformation in almost every aspect of our economic lives, away from activities that generate environmental degradation to those that preserve and sustain the natural systems upon which our societies are based. A great deal of work lies ahead in continuing to make the case for a green economy, and in finding, developing, and promoting the solutions that will make the transformation to a green economy a reality. These solutions, big and small, will be found in our governments, in our businesses, and in our civil society. Canada's philanthropic community and its partners are playing, and will continue to play, an important role in this transformation.
