. The long-term development and prosperity of current and future generations requires us to look
beyond the immediate economic crisis. We acknowledge the importance of finding ways in which
economic growth, environmental protection and social inclusion can complement and reinforce
each other. Inclusive green growth in the context of sustainable development and poverty
eradication can help achieve our development and economic goals, while protecting our
environment, and improving social well-being on which our future depends. Inclusive green
growth should not be used to introduce protectionist measures.
