The content and interactivity of this interactive e-book has leveraged a growing world of open services on the internet. This GreenTech e-book resource has been developed by a World Bank in-house team – the Disruptive KIDS (Knowledge, Information & Data Services) Helpdesk led by Nagaraja Rao Harshadeep (Harsh), Global Lead (Disruptive Technology) in the Environment, Natural Resources & Blue Economy (ENB) Global Practice of the World Bank and several other colleagues. Special thanks go to the KIDS (particularly Hrishikesh Patel, Afua Oguah, Shaffiq Somani, Isabel Maria Ramos Tellez, Akash Mehta, Kavita Macleod, Aminul Islam) and our Korea Office (Eunji Shin, Maurice Rawlins) for their tireless work in researching and developing the e-book. Many thanks also to the support of the ENB Global Practice at the World Bank (especially the Global Director Karin Kemper) and Sheila Jagannathan, who leads the Bank’s Open Learning Campus for their steady support and guidance.

We also hope to be able to acknowledge your inputs in keeping this e-book updated! Please do send us your thoughts and suggestions so that we can keep this resource “live” and updated centrally for your use. We have captured some vignettes of this accelerating GreenTech future and would like to ensure that this is updated with more examples for us all to learn from global good practices and evolving risks to be managed.
