Greening Our Economy for a Sustainable Future examines the green economy by balancing social needs, the environment, and the economy. It argues that different economic models must be developed to address the environment caused by economic expansion. The book not only looks at the opportunities of having a green economy, but also goes into areas such as greenwashing, social washing, sustainability, economics, and more. In addition, it addresses how one can improve well-being through a symbiotic relationship between economic growth and environmental stewardship.
- Reviews literature and case studies that can be applied on a large-scale on measures to change the way of economic development to implement a green economy theory
- Examines bottlenecks that occur when resource scarcity or poor quality makes investment more expensive
- Highlights opportunities for innovation spurred by policies and framework conditions that allow for new ways of addressing environmental problems
