The Importance of Science, Technology and Innovation in the Green Growth and Sustainable Development Goals of Colombia

Green growth and sustainable development goals (SDGs) are two strategies to improve the productivity and competitiveness of countries with respect to environmental protection. In these strategies, science, technology and innovation (STI) plays an important role in generating new knowledge. Colombia...
