Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication was one of the two themes for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, Rio+20. A global database for green economy policies and initiatives was developed as an information resource in the lead up to Rio+20, and a total of 303 policies and initiatives in the field of Green economy by national, regional and local governments, international organizations and major groups organizations have been registered to date.

The database is open for further additions and more information about registering initiatives can be found on the Sustainable Development Knowledge Platform here.
