气候变化在发展议程中占据越来越重要的位置。然而，大多数国家是否能够在确保增长和减贫的同时应对减缓气候变化的挑战，仍然存在争议。本研究通过确定绿色产业政策（GIP）的三个方面，为环境可持续性和经济/工业发展的交叉点提供了越来越多的文献，这些政策依赖于不同的方法来缓解气候变化。这三个方面是：（一）以消费为中心的方面;（二）公司一级的可持续性方面;（三）生产主义创新驱动的方面。然后，本文应用这一绿色产业政策框架，并通过借鉴一个国家案例研究（厄瓜多尔），探讨追求不同级别的绿色工业政策的影响。这项研究有两个主要发现。首先，绿色消费是必要的，但如果没有刺激绿色制造和低碳创新的产业政策，就很难实现。因此，绿色产业政策在向低碳未来的结构转型中可发挥核心作用。其次，需要在绿色工业政策的三个层面采取综合和互补的办法，以确保向低碳经济过渡的连贯性和发展性。
Climate change has taken an increasingly important space in the development agenda. However, whether most countries can meet the challenge of mitigating climate change while simultaneously ensuring growth and poverty reduction remains debatable. This research contributes to the growing literature at the intersection of environment sustainability and economic/industrial development by identifying three dimensions of Green Industrial Policy (GIP), which rely on different approaches to mitigate climate change. Those three dimensions are (i) the consumption-centred dimension; (ii) the firm-level sustainability dimension, and (iii) the productionist innovation-driven dimension. This paper then applies this green industrial policy framework and examines the implications of pursuing different levels of GIP by drawing on a country case study (Ecuador). Two main findings arise from this study. First, a greener consumption is necessary but can hardly be achieved without industrial policies to stimulate green manufacturing and low-carbon innovation. Green industrial policy, therefore, has a central role to play in the structural transformation towards a low-carbon future. Second, a holistic and complementary approach is needed across the three dimensions of green industrial policy to ensure a coherent and developmental transition towards a low-carbon economy.
