在创新政策和环境政策之间创造协同效应，在将可持续发展问题纳入经济进程方面发挥着核心作用。然而，这并不是一件容易的事情。竞争力和环境问题之间的历史性二分法仍然存在，并体现在政策制度、经济和其他社会理论以及更广泛的社会理解中。本文讨论了环境政策和创新政策背后的理论基础和工具的差异。在讨论政策方法的差异时，论文认为，旨在解决反应性行为的(传统)环境政策和旨在解决主动性行为的创新政策之间存在分歧，这种分歧严重阻碍了对社会负责任的市场经济的发展。了解和认识到不同政策领域之间在理论基础上的差异，对于促进这些领域的整合至关重要。本文认为，实现政策整合的一个基本途径是建立一个共同的、一致的框架和促进生态创新的愿景。本文认为，国家创新系统(NIS)视角是创新政策的基础，但很少应用于环境问题，它可能代表了这样一个亟需的框架。一个框架，可以协调竞争力和可持续性问题，从而协调创新和环境政策。本文试图勾勒出创新系统绿色化的理论框架。本文的结论是，国家创新系统的视角在很大程度上偏离了现有的环境政策，尤其是在涉及到目标以及对所涉及的(创新)系统的界定和理解方面。本文认为，基于进化经济学思想的国家创新体系视角代表了一种新的政策理念，首先是一种将基于知识的创新和竞争力放在首位的理念。绿色竞争力战略对所涉行为者的理论基础和能力提出了新的要求，环境和创新当局都将很难处理这些要求。
Creating synergies between innovation policies and environmental policies play a central part in integrating sustainability issues into the economic process. It is, however, no easy endeavour. The historic dichotomy between competitiveness and environmental issues still persists and is embodied in policy regimes, economic and other social theories as well as wider societal understandings. The paper discusses the differences in rationales and instruments underlying respectively environmental and innovation policies. In discussing the differences in policy approaches, the paper argues that there is a schism between (the traditional) environmental policies aiming at addressing reactive behaviour and innovation policies aiming at addressing proactive behaviour, a schism that severely hampers the development of a socially responsible market economy. Understanding and recognizing the differences in rationale between the different policy areas is central for promoting an integration of these. The paper argues that an essential means to achieve policy integration is to set up a shared consistent framework and a vision for the promotion of eco-innovation. The paper suggests that the national innovation system (NIS) perspective, forming the basis for innovation policy but little applied to environmental issues, may represent such a much needed framework. A framework that may align competitiveness and sustainability issues and hence innovation and environmental policy. The paper seeks to outline the theoretical framework for a greening of the innovation system. The paper concludes that the NIS perspective departs in important ways from existing environmental policy, noticeably when it comes to the targets and the delimitation and understanding of the (innovation) system involved. The paper claims that the NIS perspective, based on evolutionary economic thinking, represents a new policy rationale, a rationale first of all giving knowledge based innovation and competitiveness a pride of place. A strategy for green competitiveness sets new demands on the rationale and competencies of the actors involved, requirements which both the environmental and innovation authorities will have great difficulties in handling.
