The Green Economy approach, with its focus on growth, techno fixes and marketisation of nature has the
full support of a large section of the business sector and governments. The EU environment
Commissioner Potocnik summed up the thinking, “We need to move from protecting the environment
from business to using business to protect the environment”. The Rio+20 campaign website speaks of this
approach as the solution to problems/issues such as jobs, energy, cities, food, water, oceans and
disasters and then calls for an Institutional Framework.
