Abstract
The green economy is as much about developing an economic system that builds and enhances the earth’s natural capital as it is about maximizing economic benefits and minimizing social inequalities. Ultimately, the green economy is an outcome-oriented concept that aims at improving human well-being without undermining the resource-base that current and future generations depend on for their livelihoods. It serves to link economic performance with efficient resource utilization and a just distribution of the benefits within and across generations.
