WHAT IS GREEN ECONOMY?






Green Economy as Biological economy that is concerned with renewable energy, green buildings, clean transportation, water, waste and land management. This would mean that without compromising on the ecological aspects we create options that promote the economy. According to UNEP (United Nations Environment Program) a green economy is defined as low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive. In a green economy, growth in employment and income are driven by public and private investment into such economic activities, infrastructure and assets that allow reduced carbon emissions and pollution, enhanced energy and resource efficiency, and prevention of the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.


 These green investments need to be enabled and supported through targeted public expenditure, policy reforms and changes in taxation and regulation. The Green Economy provides a macro-economic approach to sustainable economic growth with a central focus on investments, employment and skills.
