INTRODUCTION

Economic growth is now recognized as the main engine for poverty reduction and human development. Current models of economic growth, however, often drive the depletion and destruction of natural resources and services, leading to increased inequality. The model of green growth promises the simultaneous advancement of economic growth, environmental sustainability, poverty reduction and social inclusiveness.

Harnessing creativity and innovation in formulating green growth actions is the vision of a ‘creative economy’ the Korean government has put forth in its current economic policy. A creative economy is seen as a solution to the global economic problems of low growth, high unemployment, and widening inequality by creating new business opportunities, industries, and jobs through the fusion of information and communication technology, culture, and other sectors.

This conference will explore the ways in which green growth policy approaches can leverage the potential of the creative economy in practice, and vice versa, thus examining the nexus between green growth and creative economy. It will focus on the three key drivers of both green growth and creative economy: technology, finance, and inclusiveness.

With regards to technology, cutting-edge green technologies will be emphasized as well as the major barriers to their large-scale deployment, and participants will focus on ways to overcome these barriers. The sessions on technology will define how the convergence of information and communication technologies can lead to creative green solutions. In addition, recommendations will be made for creating and sustaining an ecosystem of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and micro enterprises in the green industry.

Despite lingering global economic uncertainties, finance options for activities in climate change mitigation and adaptation are widely available. Developing countries may not possess the necessary knowledge or skills to access those financial resources, resulting in a mismatch between the supply and demand in green finance. Participants will address ways to resolving this mismatch, identifying innovative investment models for green growth projects and incorporating the perspectives of public private cooperation experts.

Social inclusiveness and environmental quality are key to sustainable development. The green growth and creative economy concepts embody the common objective to create a better economic, social and ecological future. Discussion will clearly articulate the need for green growth and creative economy policies to be inclusive. Innovative mechanisms of knowledge sharing as key components of inclusiveness will be shared, and the benefits of sharing knowledge to maintain or improve green growth and creative economy policies will be explored.


Expected Outputs and Outcomes

The conference will show that innovative green technology and entrepreneurship, green investment models, creative leadership, public-private cooperation and inclusive practices and knowledge sharing can make a value-added contribution to better green growth outcomes.

Expected outputs of the conference include recommendations for:

•identifyingmajorbarriers to large-scaledeploymentofgreen technologyand theirpotential solutions;

•creatingandpromotingecosystemsofSMEsandmicroenterprise in thegreenindustry;

•resolvingthemismatchbetweensupplyanddemandinclimateorgreenfinance;

•creatingandrefininginnovativeinvestmentmodelsforgreengrowthprojects;

•identifyingandpromoting innovativemechanismsforsocial inclusionandknowledgesharing.

Concrete ideas and practical solutions identified in the conference will be fed into GGGI’s delivery model and service offerings.

OPENING PlENaRY 09:00-10:00, Grand Ballroom, 3F

H.E. Dr. Susilo Bambang YudhoyonoIncoming Chair of the Council and Assembly President of the Global Green Growth Institute and Former President of the Republic of Indonesia

Prof. Dr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono – widely known as “SBY” – was the sixth President of the Republic of Indonesia. He served two terms in office. The first term commenced from 2004 to 2009 and the second term from 2009 to 2014.

Born in Pacitan, East Java, on 9 September 1949, President Yudhoyono has a number of self-transformations: from student to soldier, soldier to reformist general, 4-stars general to cabinet Minister, Minister to politician, and politician to President. He graduated from the Military Academy in 1973 at the top of his class. He quickly rose through the ranks in the army – earning him the reputation as “a thinking General” with strong reformist credentials. He served a distinguished military career, which included a tour as chief of the United Nations Military Observer in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

After retiring early from the military service in 1999, he was appointed as Minister of Mining and Energy. He then served as Coordinating Minister for Political, Social, and Security Affairs in the National Unity Cabinet under President Abdurrahman Wahid (2000-2001). He was re-appointed as Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs under President Megawati Soekarnoputri (2001-2004). In the aftermath of 2002 Bali bombing, SBY established a reputation as Indonesia’s “anti-terrorism tsar”.

President Yudhoyono has an extensive academic background. While joining the US Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, he completed his Master Degree in Management from Webster University in St. Louis, US in 1991. In addition, in the midst of running his Presidential campaign, he completed his Doctorate Degree in Agricultural Economics from Bogor Institute of Agriculture in 2004.

President Yudhoyono’s commitment to peace and stability in Indonesia and abroad is unequivocal. He successfully pursued a peaceful political solution to resolve the 30-year

Opening Plenary 19

separatist conflict in Aceh, which led to a historic peace deal in 2005. He also injected new vigor into political reforms and public policies, as well as advanced decentralization to bring about tangible progress and development in Papua.

For his leadership, Yudhoyono was placed among the 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2009 by Time Magazine in May 2009. Former President Yudhoyono has placed the environment at the top of his national and foreign policy agenda, arguably making him the most “green” President in Indonesia’s modern history. His development mantra is the four tracks of “pro-growth, pro-job, pro-poor, pro-environment”. Consequently, Yudhoyono introduced strict environ-mental laws which oblige development activities to follow high and strict environmental standards.

President Yudhoyono became very active on global diplomacy on climate change. In 2007, Indonesia successfully hosted the Conference of Parties (COP) 13 – known as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change – in Bali.

In July 2008, President Yudhoyono created the National Council on Climate Change that he chaired with two senior coordinating ministers as vice chairs and 17 Ministers as members.

President Yudhoyono has also been a strong advocate of sustainable forestry. In 2009 President Yudhoyono launched a national campaign to plant 1 billion trees. The campaign succeeded in planting some 3.5 billion trees in just 3 years.

In 2012, President Yudhoyono was appointed by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as Co-Chair of the High Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the post-2015 Development Agenda. The other Co-Chairs were President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia and Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom.

As an intellectual and prolific writer, Former President Yudhoyono has authored a number of books and articles. Among his writings are: Revitalisasi Ekonomi Indonesia: Business, Politics and Good Governance (Revitalizing Indonesia’s Economy: Business, Politics and Good Governance) published by Brighten Institute in 2002 and Mengatasi Krisis-Menyelamatkan Reformasi (Coping with the Crisis – Securing the Reform), published by Puskap in 1999. As an eloquent speaker, Former President Yudhoyono has injected fresh ideas on a wide range of issues, from harmony among civilizations at JFK School of Government, Harvard University 2009, to geopolitical architecture at Shangri-La Dialogue 2012, and Sustainable Growth with Equity at CIFOR headquarter in Bogor 2012.

President Yudhoyono’s second term in office ended on 20 October 2014. He served two consecutive terms as President, and thus making him the longest serving President in Indonesia’s democratic era.

PlENaRY 1:CREaTIVE lEaDERSHIP FOR GREEN GROWTH 10:00-1 1:15, Grand Ballroom, 3F

In recent decades advanced economies, emerging markets and rapidly-growing developing countries alike have witnessed a remarkable transformation in their models of economic development due to a shift towards innovation-based economic growth. Innovation is now perceived as vital to enabling and sustaining long-term growth and is particularly key to ensuring the success of green growth.

Willingness to demonstrate leadership has long been seen as a key to the transformation from resource-intensive physical production to a knowledge-based creative economy, from unsustainable use of resources to sustainable growth, efficient production, and inclusive economic development.

The focus of the session is to elaborate upon the distinct role of leadership – at the international level, domestic level, in the public and private sectors, and through partnerships and networks – in creating conditions for accelerated growth that is sustainable, resilient and inclusive. Creative leadership involves leaders who have novel ideas, skills sets, and experience as they deliver initiate and manage change to achieve green economic goals.

Plenary panelists will have the opportunity to share their unique viewpoints on how they as leaders have addressed barriers to transformational change in creating solutions that advance the cause of green growth. They will share their views on how leaders, policymakers, and investors can promote creative sectors of economies to advance more sustainable growth and have the chance to exchange views on how innovation itself can help countries pursue more sustainable growth trajectories and economic development pathways.

This plenary session brings together a number of prominent people in leadership roles to discuss the role of leadership in fostering this economic transformation and promoting innovative solutions to growth and sustainability challenges.

Plenary 1: Creative Leadership for Green Growth 25

Key Questions

1. What roles can political and business leaders play in promoting innovation and sustainable growth? Each discussant is encouraged to provide vivid illustrations from their own experience in which they played a key role in catalyzing change toward a more innovative vision, policy, goals, or practices.

2. What examples of creative leadership do we see in policy, investments, and technology that could to be scaled up to promote innovation as a driver for green growth?

3. What are the barriers that leaders face in promoting innovation and green growth? What can be done to overcome, lower, or eliminate these barriers – and how can they be removed faster?

PaRallEl SESSIONS 1-a: TECHNOlOGY INNOVaTION 1 1:30-13:00, Lotus 1, 3F

In recent years the world has experienced a wave of technological advancement and a wealth of innovations which can make significant contributions to green growth. These include cleaner and more efficient technologies and systems within the transportation, buildings, water, and energy sectors. In particular the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) often makes such technologies even smarter, more inclusive and less resource intensive. ICTs are already playing a key role in smart grids, advanced control systems, satellite monitoring of forest cover, banking and payment for services in remote areas via mobile phone, to name a few.

However, finding ways to further stimulate creativity and innovation and to bring smart technologies from the pilot or demonstration stage to full-scale implementation still remains a key challenge. Both the government and the private sector have important roles to play in this regard. Government policies and measures can facilitate green innovation and market development through proper incentives, or they may slow it down through ‘bad’ subsidies to resource intensive or inefficient technologies (e.g. subsidies to fossil fuels). The government can also lead green innovation through green public procurement. The private sector often brings innovative solutions to the market, but it often faces high financial risks. In the end, green technologies have to be acceptable and affordable for both investors and consumers.

With this backdrop, this session focuses on identifying catalysts for green technology innovations, major barriers to their large-scale deployment, and potential solutions to overcome these barriers, by addressing the following key questions.

Parallel Sessions 1-A: Technology Innovation 33

Key Discussion Points

1. What was the main reason for the success of some of the recent green technology innovations such as those mentioned above? Where is the best potential for major breakthroughs in the future? What are the most needed and promising sectors or areas for smart technology innovation? How far have we come in adapting to learning curves for different green technologies?

2. What are the main catalysts for technology innovation? What are the best ways to scale up the development and use of innovative technologies? How do we create an eco-system for innovation? How can the government best support innovation?

3. How can the market work for a wider use of innovative, smart technologies? Can market forces drive this alone? Or will the market be driven by political initiatives, targets, and measures? Is investment in cutting-edge technologies too risky for the private sector? What are the roles of consumers and end-users? Can innovation be driven by consumer demand?

4. How can the poor benefit from ICTs and green technologies? What are the successes and barriers when it comes to improving access to the poor?

PaRallEl SESSIONS 1-B: GREEN ClImaTE FINaNCE 1 1:30-13:00, Lotus 5, 3F

Climate finance is a fundamental ingredient to the scale-up of low-carbon and climate resilient growth. The volume of global climate investment flow will intrinsically determine the pace of reducing global emissions as well as increasing the adaptive capacities of communities vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Despite its importance, studies by leading research groups have emphasized that current climate related investment has fallen well short of even the most conservative needs estimates. After the fast-track finance period (2010-2012), which was an initial step towards mobilizing climate finance at a global level, developed countries have struggled to demonstrate a trajectory of year-on-year increases to reach the US$100 billion per year commitment by 2020.

2015 will be a significant year for climate change finance as the international community will attempt to formulate a new climate agreement that captures post-2020 reduction targets. Although it is still unclear whether climate finance will make or break a deal at COP21, announcements of new pledges to the Green Climate Fund by several countries at the UN Climate Summit held earlier this year have provided some positive signals. However, this momentum still awaits to build upon big names that have agreed to financial obligations, in securing the necessary fund for both immediate (2015-2020) and post-2020 needs.

Of critical importance during the period leading up to the new climate agreement is to understand the current landscape of climate finance and learn from what we have experienced so far. It will take creativity and collective effort to overcome the challenges and look beyond political differences. Recent reports that aim to track climate finance have raised some key issues that require attention, for example:

• Distribution of climate funds show low correlation with the emissions reduction potentials and climate change vulnerabilities of recipient countries.

• Mitigation activities receive much more financial support than adaptation activities; countries have more readily identified private investment opportunities for mitigation.

• Expectations of private finance are high (which could be overestimated), while the primary role of public capital is seen as covering the increment that makes climate related investments commercially unattractive.

• A significant overlap exists between climate finance and development finance; donor countries are increasing the use of ODA for climate purposes.

Parallel Sessions 1-B: Green Climate Finance 41

With this in mind, the session seeks to address the ways forward in climate finance through discussions on the priorities for an ambitious 2015 outcome. The session will provide essential insights on how to advance the agenda on climate finance.


1. How can climate finance more precisely target high-emitting and highly vulnerable countries?

2. How can we ensure that countries with poor capacities have better access to climate finance?

3. Is over-reliance on private finance undermining pro-poor adaptation? Should emerging institutions in the global climate finance architecture place a greater emphasis on adaptation?

4. Can ODA and climate finance be managed as separate resource streams without undermining funding to the developing countries?

5. What is the potential for building new sources of climate finance? (e.g. innovative levies on international transactions, crowd-funding)

PaRallEl SESSIONS 1-C: SOCIal INClUSION 1 1:30-13:00, Orchid 3, 4F

Social inclusion can be defined as the process of improving the ability and opportunity of people to participate in society regardless of their social status. More social inclusion ensures that more people have a voice in decisions which affect their lives and that they enjoy equal access to markets, services and political, social and physical platforms.

As outlined in the Rio+20 Outcome Document “The Future We Want,” the international community recognizes that people, the planet and fairness are at the center of green growth, and calls for a world that is just, equitable and inclusive. It underlines the need to work toward inclusive economic growth, social development and environmental protection that benefits all members of society.

The future envisioned by the Rio+20 is urgently needed and possible, but we cannot presume that green growth is inherently inclusive. Green growth policies must be carefully designed to maximize benefits for, and minimize costs to, the poor and most vulnerable. Leveraging opportunities and achieving a just transition which buffers against the risks requires social and labor market policies to complement economic and environmental policies.

This session brings together international organizations and governments to identify challenges and opportunities for achieving socially inclusive green growth.

Parallel Sessions 1-C: Social Inclusion 49


1. Social inclusion – what is it, why is it important and how far have we come?

2. What are the good practices for integrating social inclusion concerns into development planning and financing in ways that help reduce poverty and inequality?

3. What are some of the strategies, policies and institutional approaches that countries can apply to ensure that socially marginalized communities are engaging in and benefiting from inclusive green growth?

4. What role can international organizations (such as the UN system, OECD and multilateral development banks) play to help mainstream social inclusion into national development processes?

PlENaRY 2: CREaTIVE GROWTH mODElS 14:00-15:15, Grand Ballroom, 3F

Achieving resilient and sustained economic growth is dependent on rapid economic transitions that will increase both the quantity and quality of growth. As such, creative growth models that incorporate policy and regulatory reforms in the areas of job creation, poverty reduction, and environmental sustainability are vital.

A number of countries have been exploring how to creatively achieve green growth. One lesson from these experiments is that for creative growth models to succeed, the private sector must be positioned as the core driver of growth. This can involve the creation of market mechanisms, such as carbon pricing, to incentivize private sector innovation in addressing sustainability challenges.

Many countries are also relying on green subsidies and regulations that increase the profitability of domestic industries. This includes the adoption of green industrial policy, which has proven to be a successful approach for achieving innovation in both developed and developing countries. In the Republic of Korea, for example, a core focus is the creative economy strategy, aimed at catalyzing job creation through leveraging a highly educated population and global economic dominance in manufacturing and information and communications technology. The creative economy strategy also contains key green investment components by focusing on the development of innovative technologies for renewable energy and energy efficiency. Complementary to its green growth goals, the creative economy strategy helps the Republic of Korea address pressing social and economic issues while also achieving climate change mitigation targets and the reduction of environmental impacts.

Creative growth models require context specificity. In developing countries that do not generally enjoy the same fiscal conditions or dynamic private sectors present in high-income countries this will necessitate the development of growth models that leverage their economic strengths and allow a smooth path to green growth. In this plenary, panelists will address green growth as a creative growth model. They will also discuss how enabling environments have been and can be created, and who the key players are in achieving green growth globally.
