A importância da mensuração do Produto Interno Verde (PIV) no alcance do desenvolvimento sustentável: as experiências do Brasil, México e Colômbia

Abstract

This study aims to highlight the importance of measuring Green Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia in order to verify whether countries with structured Environmental Accounts in National Accounts are progressing towards sustainable development. The increasingly evident interconnection between the economy and the environment, as well as climate change, population growth, and environmental degradation, are directly affecting the economy, requiring nations to create strategies and tools to minimize impacts. Thus, the methodology of bibliographic research was used to analyze socio-economic and environmental data, and it was found that Mexico regularly publishes information on Green GDP, while Brazil and Colombia need to advance in the implementation and dissemination of this data. However, the study showed that Green GDP is a relevant tool for a consistent and necessary analysis for achieving sustainable development.
