Green Economy in India: Possibilities and Challenges

Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5

Abstract

The Green economy has over the past few years became a central concept on the global sustainable development agenda. The concept was first mentioned in a British governmentcommissioned sustainable development report from 1989. However, it was only during the late 2000s‟ global economic crisis that green economy was brought to international attention as an economic recovery strategy focused on creating „green jobs‟ and tackling climate change and creating real investments. South Korea was the first country to declare „Low Carbon Green Growth‟ as its long-term national development vision, in 2008. Over the last decade, India‟s strong growth has increased employment opportunities and allowed millions to emerge from poverty. India‟s remarkable growth record, however, has been clouded by a degrading environment and growing scarcity of natural resources. Mirroring the size and diversity of its economy, environmental risks are wide ranging and are driven by both prosperity and poverty.
