The Green Transition Navigator is an interactive website, designed to help map and manage the shifting landscape of green competitiveness for different countries. It is underpinned by recent peer-reviewed research by Mealy and Teytelboym (2020), and draws on over 20 years of detailed data to showcase new metrics of green competitiveness and future green diversification potential across 231 countries and territories. It also enables the exploration and comparison of countries’ competitive strengths in specific green products, and the identification of new green industrial growth opportunities that align with countries’ existing productive capabilities.

The Green Transition Navigator aims to provide a starting point for policymakers, researchers and businesses to identify possible industrial growth opportunities that align with countries’ existing competitive strengths, and which are likely to be in greater demand as the world transitions to a greener economy.

Mission

The transition to the green economy is teeming with opportunities. The mission of the Green Transition Navigator is to help countries identify them.

No two countries are the same

When it comes to navigating growth opportunities in the green economy, each country is different. Each has unique production capabilities and faces a different landscape of green growth opportunities. Consequently, one-size-fits-all green industrial strategy policies are likely to fall short.

A map of green competitiveness – and future green growth possibilities

Drawing on an expansive dataset of traded green products, the Green Transition Navigator identifies countries’ current competitive strengths and maps out new export opportunities that

(i) align with their existing productive capabilities, and
(ii) offer advantages in terms of technological sophistication and greater potential to open up future diversification opportunities.
