“…The impetus for this was the rise of climate change on the agenda between 2004 and 2007 (Brandon 2018;Fay 2017). The Bank took an interest in the development of renewable energy and "transitioning to a low-carbon economy" (Gouvello 2018;World Bank 2006, 18). In the 2008 Annual Report, the World Bank coined the term "lowcarbon growth."…”

“…Constrained by the longstanding commitment to economic growth in the Bank, environmental advocates sought to reassert that growth and climate action were complementary. The goal was to use the concept to, as in UNESCAP and UNEP, "create a positive narrative, to reconcile mitigation and development" (Gouvello 2018). This would be realized practically in energy projects funded by the Bank (Gouvello 2018).…”

“…The goal was to use the concept to, as in UNESCAP and UNEP, "create a positive narrative, to reconcile mitigation and development" (Gouvello 2018). This would be realized practically in energy projects funded by the Bank (Gouvello 2018). In short, these ideas emerged as a way of talking to client states about undertaking environmental and climate change action now, rather than pursuing the "grow now, clean up later" strategy many states preferred (Fay 2017).…”

“…In 2010, the Bank's annual report referenced green growth and the Bank funded a "green growth" project in Mexico (World Bank 2010, 27). This switch to using the concept of green growth around 2010 was "a continuation of low-carbon studies" (Gouvello 2018). It thus translated a pre-existing concept into the context of its own strategic situation.…”

Ideas play an important role in policy change. Theories of policy change, including rational and bounded learning, bracket what needs to be explained: the creation of new ideas. We develop a theory of creative learning in international organizations (IOs). It posits that IO officials respond to new problems and state practices by creating novel concepts and policy ideas. New ideas help officials to manage multiple pressures in their organization’s strategic situation. They enable officials to mediate principal demands while seeking to mobilize client states. We theorize three modes of creative learning that generate new ideas: conceptual combination, translation, and repurposing. Empirically, we explain a major change in global environmental policy: the rise of green growth ideas among major IOs, including the OECD, the UN, and the World Bank. Green growth ideas include new arguments drawn from Keynesian and Schumpeterian economics, which claim that environmental policies can drive economic growth. We show how these ideas were a creative response to the problem of climate change and emerging state interventions in support of clean energy. Our theory of creative learning applies beyond IOs to domestic politics and takes on added significance in times of transformative change that challenge the scripts of policymaking.
