The fourth Global Green Growth Forum convening a select high-level group of 250-300 green growth leaders and decision-makers is taking place on 20-21 October. Participation is by personal invitation by the Prime Minister of Denmark only. The high-level leaders attending 3GF2014 from governments, cities and regions, business, finance, civil society and international organizations increasingly recognize that in order to grow our economy and go green at the same time you have to address the fundamental questions of how we will live our lives, where we will live and what we will live from?
