UNCTAD´s Trade and Environment Review 2009/2010focuses on the 140 plus low-income and least developed countries, which have not caused the economic, financial, climate and food crises, but have to bear the full brunt of these crises.The TER 09/10 singles out three areas of sustainable, "green" growth that are of particular and strategic importance for the low-income and least developed countries: Enhancing energy efficiency, often implemented in combination with material and resource efficiency; Mainstreaming sustainable agriculture, including organic agriculture; and harnessing the use of off-grid renewable energy technologies for sustainable rural development.
