Green Economy

UNEP defines a green economy as one that results in “improved human well-being and social equity,
while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities”. Green economy is low-
carbon, resource efficient, and socially inclusive. In a green economy, growth in income and employment
are driven by public and private investments that reduce carbon emissions and pollution, enhance
energy and resource efficiency, and prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Green
Growth pursues growth and improvement of environment by driving growth and job creation through
R&D in clean energy and green technology conserving and efficiently using energy and resources.

However, how far micro, small and medium enterprises and other industries of different sizes contribute
to green growth?

Focus: sustainable development and green enterprises

The idea of a green enterprise has become a key component of mainstream economic & enterprise
discourse. The global economy is in a transition to a more efficient and equitable entity, where better
use of natural resources to achieve sustainable growth is the focus. Also, it is to be noted that economic
development today must ensure that future generations are left no worse off than current generations.

In the green economy, there are green entrepreneurial potentials and opportunities. Promotion of green
enterprises is pivotal for achieving economic and social development that is environmentally
sustainable. Increasingly, countries are developing policies and implementing strategies to reduce
emissions, develop more efficient energy scenarios and improve waste management. A broader policy
agenda for climate-resilient strategies and sustainable growth that also reduces poverty is
emerging. Evidently, this has far reaching consequences for employment generation and overall well
being. Waste management, sustainable and green energy sectors are some of the emerging green
sectors that can significantly contribute to new job creation and entrepreneurial opportunities.

Green Enterprises: some concerns

Green Industries which are based on green technology are promising growth sectors. However, in order
to promote this sector, the Government must support them through green oriented financial policies.
Also, it is to be noted that promotion of green enterprise and green economy require favorable legal
frameworks, policies, strategies and a regulatory environment that has strong institutions with strong
apex leadership to provide financial and non-financial services.

Green enterprises can substantially contribute in reducing pollution and environmental degradation. But
how far industries are aware of their responsibilities? Green technologies can support green growth by
conserving energy and resources in various social and economic activities with environmental
enhancement i.e. GHG reduction technology that minimizes GHG pollutant emission, energy efficiency
technology, clean energy production technology, resource recycling, and eco-friendly technology
(including relevant convergence technology)
