Keywords:
Green economy, renewable energy, environmental sustainability, eco-innovation, climate change.Abstract
The green economy is an economic system aimed at achieving sustainable development through responsible environmental management, resource efficiency, and social inclusion.This model seeks to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation by promoting clean energy, reducing carbon footprints, and fostering eco-friendly technologies. The study explores the concept of the green economy by examining its core principles, theoretical foundations, and practical applications across different regions. Through a mixed-methods approach, the research combines a comprehensive literature review, case study analysis, surveys, and interviews with key stakeholders. The findings highlight the potential of the green economy to drive job creation, foster economic growth, and address critical environmental challenges.The research also emphasizes the importance of policies, innovation, and governance structures in facilitating a successful transition to a green economy.
