Health Indicator: Inequality-Adjusted Life Expectancy Index

Abstract

The green economy is to improve people’s wellbeing and social justice and meanwhile significantly reduce environmental risks and ecological scarcity. Both developing and developed countries are not only confronted with resource, environment and ecological problems in the process of development, but also should try to eradicate poverty and provide people with equal access to medical services, health care, education and employment. The Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development proposed to realize sustained, inclusive and equal economic growth, provide equal opportunities to all, reduce inequality, and promote fair social development. The human green development requires resource-saving and environmentally-friendly economic growth and fair and equal social development as well, to realize sustainable and inclusive economic and social development.
