The world can achieve economic growth and create jobs through sustainable technologies and there’s no need for a trade-off between the two, Ugo Astuto, Ambassador of the European Union (EU) to India said Saturday.
“It’s the philosophy of the EU that there’s no trade-off between (economic) growth and jobs and protection of the environment. Actually we can achieve growth and jobs by investing in green technologies and innovation. That’s the only way to have sustainable growth…to have a sustainable creation of jobs,”
