“Green” energy – a new round of economic development

Abstract

Globalization has had a significant impact on the economy, ecology and society during the previous decade. Meanwhile, the green economy has become the most important political basis for growth and development in developed and developing countries. The current study is an attempt to provide a detailed overview of globalization, the green economy and climate issues in order to draw some conclusions. There are disagreements between competing “green” economic discourses and a variety of definitions, and they all have problems. The recognition of the environmental consequences of the depletion of natural resources and the economic benefits of environmental management are common examples of the introduction of a “green” economy. This study also examines the impact of climate change on the “green” economy and infrastructure development. The study also examines the role of the economic structure in mitigating environmental problems, improving production efficiency, developing a green economy and environmentally friendly technologies. The presented article concludes that working towards a “green” economy helps to reduce poverty. It also sheds a brief light on improving poor people’s access to a healthy and safe environment while increasing human security by preventing or resolving conflicts over land, food, water and other natural resources.
