How green is green?
• Green economy in 1992 Rio Earth Summit equals sustainable development.
• Green economy in Rio+20 not the same, narrow • Green in PHI, not reduced to Pnoy’s National
Greening Program (NGP), is more like Rio ‘92 or sustainable development, at least in rhetoric
• Green policymaking began in Marcos time—1972 Stockholm UN Conference
