Abstract
The notion of green growth has emerged as an international policy discourse and response to climate change and ecological breakdown, designed to improve the demand-based and production-based emissions through a nation’s investments in its technological innovations and environmental-related expenditures. Equally, infrastructure investment plays an important role in the provision of fundamental demands and needs such as transport, utilities, communication, and energy. Thus, both ‘green growth’ and ‘infrastructure investment’ are of critical importance for achieving sustainable development goals and enhancing the social and economic productivity of any country.
