This document discusses the concept of a green economy. A green economy aims to improve human well-being and social equity while significantly reducing environmental risks. It is an economy that sustains development without degrading the environment. A green economy was initiated in response to multiple crises and accelerating resource scarcity. It provides opportunities to reduce poverty and inequality through sustainable management of natural resources. Key sectors of a green economy include renewable energy, green buildings, sustainable transport, water management, waste management, and land management. Developing countries face challenges in transitioning to a green economy due to low emissions levels and investments. Enabling conditions include establishing regulations, removing subsidies, prioritizing green investments, and engaging the private sector and public.
These slides cover briefly the concept of circular economy, how it aims at reducing waste to a minimum. When a product reaches the end of its life, its materials are kept within the economy wherever possible. These materials would then be productively used again and again, thereby creating further value. Circular economy has enormous benefits when compared against the traditional linear and recycling economies.
this presentation is about the sustainability of the environment and techniques we can use to preserve our Environment for future generation along with statistics.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE T...vijay kumar sarabu
There is direct relationship between environment and economic development. Economic development without environmental considerations can cause serious environmental damage in turn impairing the quality of life of present and future generations. In the process of economic development, the environmental problems have been ignored or less concentrated. Any country’s environmental problems are related to the level of its economic development, the availability of natural resources and the lifestyle of its population. In India, rapid growth of population, poverty, urbanization, industrialization and several related factors are responsible for the rapid degradation of the environment. Environmental problems have become serious in many parts of the country, and hence cannot be ignored. The main environmental problems in India relate to air and water pollution particularly in metropolitan cities and industrial zones, degradation of common property resources (Tanks, Ponds Lakes, Rivers, Forests etc.) which affect the poor adversely as they depends on them for their livelihood, threat to biodiversity and inadequate system of solid waste disposal and sanitation with consequent adverse impact on health, infant mortality and birth rate.
The presentation is on green environment. You can know what to do to develop the environment, what steps you can take to develop the environment and how to reduce dust from the environment.
Until two decades ago the world looked at economic status alone as a measure of human development.
Thus countries that were economically well developed and where people were relatively richer were called advanced nations while the rest where poverty was widespread and was economically backwards were called developing countries.
Most countries of North America and Europe which had become industrialized at an earlier stage have become economically more advanced.
They not only exploited their own natural resources rapidly but also used the natural resources of developing countries to grow even larger economies.
Thus the way development progressed, the rich countries got richer while the poor nations got poorer.
poorer.
However, even the developed world has begun to realize that their lives were being seriously affected by the environmental consequences of development based on economic growth alone.
This form of development did not add to the quality of life as the environmental conditions had begun to deteriorate.
By the 1970s most development specialists began to appreciate the fact that economic growth alone could not bring about a better way of life for people unless environmental conditions were improved.
Development strategies in which only economic considerations were used, had begun to suffer from serious environmental problems due to air and water pollution, waste management, deforestation and a variety of other ill effects that seriously affected peoples’ well being and health.

Una panoramica sulle principali tendenze legate all’ecosostenibilità: dal packaging a basso impatto all’eco-trasparenza radicale, dall’innovazione collaborativa alla progettazione basata su criteri ecoattivi. È anche l’occasione per chiedersi, al di là del buonismo e di molti luoghi comuni, cosa vogliono realmente i consumatori “green”: prodotti che offrano benefici personali (risparmiare sulla bolletta, ad esempio) e non solo ricadute positive per l’ambiente.
Green economy a way to deal with climate changesauravkumar das
The aspiration levels of people have skyrocketed in developing economies like India. Gas guzzling automobiles, account for more than 70% of the pollution & the consequent global warming. Corporate gluttony is on the rise. Viewing business activities through the lens of the triple bottom-line paradigm of people, planet & profit is what will make our society progressive.
We all know about the climate change issues, about how our world is in imminent peril. I intend this artifact to be a change driver targeted at policy makers and business leaders alike, as well as the common people to “grow but sustainably”.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

21. GREEN ECONOMY IN BANGLADESH
The state shall endeavor to protect and improve
the environment and to preserve and
safeguard the natural resources, biodiversity,
wetlands, forests and wildlife for the present
and future citizens.
[The Article 18 A of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh ]
22. • In 1996, Grameen Bank founded Grameen Shakti , improved
cooking stoves and Biogas programmers. All these projects are
environment friendly
• A private financial institution, namely IIDFCL, took a CDM project to
help build 18 environment-friendly brick kilns of HHK technology
which is 50 per cent energy efficient and as such, 50 per cent less
polluting
• Bangladesh Bank has developed a fund of some Tk 2.0 billion,
under its refinancing scheme, to promote environment friendly
projects.
• The government of Bangladesh runs IDCOL , which has set a target
of installing some 1.0 million SHS by 2012, while under its CDM
project (POA), it would install a total of 30,000 SHS in the country.
• This CDM project will help reduce a significant amount of CO2 per
annum and earn carbon revenue.
• IDCOL has financed biomass based power project too
( From - Green economy: Bangladesh perspective, by Shafiqul Alam )
23. SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS IN LEAST DEVELOPED
COUNTRIES LIKE BANGLADESH
• Low levels of carbon emissions
• Relatively low investments in technologies
• More dependent on natural resources →
ecosystem degradation, resource scarcity and
climate change challenges to ending poverty
• Investments, policy reforms and maximize
local knowledge are needed
24. ENABLING CONDITIONS FOR A GREEN ECONOMY
• Establish sound regulatory frameworks
• Remove harmful subsidies (e.g. fossil fuels, fisheries)
• Prioritize green investment
• Utilize market mechanisms and taxation
• Build capacity through training and technology transfer
• Transform consumption patterns – not just technology!
• Use poverty alleviation/MDG targets
• Policy coherence
• Private sector engagement
• Local authorities’ engagement
• Public awareness & mobilisation
• Intergovernmental co-operation
25. ROLE OF GOVERNMENTS
• National development plans and strategies
• Key sectors of GE: Energy and Agriculture
• Low-carbon systems
• “Double dividend” policies: employment and
green growth
• Labour market adjustment: high labour mobility-
income security and national and education systems
• Weaknesses of a “business as usual” approach
