“The GGEI demonstrates the robust data and analysis we bring to bear helping our clients improve their international green branding and communications programs.  The new green city rankings expand our services to urban stakeholders and offer guidance on coordinating national and city efforts promoting green economic growth,” said Jeremy Tamanini, the founder of Dual Citizen Inc.

Defining top targets

Experts continue to view Germany, China, the United States and India as the best targets for cleantech investment but smaller nations - notably Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Israel - are gaining recognition.

Washington-based consultancy Dual Citizen publishes the annual GGEI and will host a webinar on Thursday September 27th at 10am EST to review the results.
