Measuring Science and Innovation for Sustainable Growth

Science and innovation are essential to addressing pressing environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. This publication is a unique reference guide providing comprehensive evidence for policymakers, statisticians and researchers on how STI contributes to energy and green transitions and sustainable growth. Drawing on a wide range of existing and original, newly developed indicators and data sources, it maps key concepts, highlights measurement gaps, and explores the role of science and innovation in enabling the emergence and widespread adoption of environmentally sound technologies, informing public policy and societal engagement. The report also offers recommendations for improving the systematic measurement of STI's contribution to sustainability across OECD countries.
