Dr Jason Eis, Deputy Director - London Office, Global Green Growth Institute during the launch of the 'Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI)-TERI Initiative for Green Growth and Development in India' at the Delhi Sustainable 

Dr Jason Eis talked about the work done by GGGI, primarily devoted to developing strategies towards a green growth paradigm. According to him, the policy design for these strategies needs to be appropriated at the national, state, and local levels.

A planet of 7 billion people, a number that is growing every minute, is likely to face increased conflicts over scarce resources. So unless we begin to use our resources efficiently, we are likely to reach tipping points that will not only harm our own well-being, but also that of our future generations. The decisions we make today will define our tomorrow.

It is in this context that DSDS 2013 deliberated upon 'The Global Challenge of Resource Efficient Growth and Development'. For more information, visit http://dss.teriin.org.
