If ecosystems collapse, so eventually will human civilization. One solution is inclusive green growth--the efficient use of natural resources. Its genius lies in working with nature rather than against it. Green Growth That Works is the first practical guide to bring together pragmatic finance and policy tools that can make investment in natural capital both attractive and commonplace. Pioneered by leading scholars from the Natural Capital Project, this valuable compendium of proven techniques can guide agencies and organizations eager to make green growth work anywhere in the world.

Green Economy and Sustainable Development Vision, Concept and Applications The current global trend revolves around reevaluating the foundations of development for nations by focusing on the evolving challenges faced by populations. This includes the exacerbation of unemployment, rising poverty rates because of climate change, successive financial crises, and the ensuing food crises. It's a time to confront these crises by reconsidering the fundamental pillars that support economic growth and the developmental policies associated with it across various nations. This unequivocally underscores the imperative to advance concepts related to what it termed the "Green Economy." This is one of the most crucial means to ease the spread of poverty and achieve sustainable development, as per the definition put forth by the United Nations Environment Programme, which states that "the green economy is an economy that leads to the improvement of human well-being and the long-term reduction of inequality, without exposing future generations to important environmental risks and ecological scarcity." The significance of the green economy lies in its essential role in establishing a connection between sustainable development, encompassing economic, social, and environmental facets. It facilitates a positive transition in the requisite processes of production, patterns of consumption, waste, and pollution management. It aids in controlling the reckless utilization of natural resources, energy sources, and the ensuing emissions. The ultimate aim is to transform all these elements into a more efficient and diversified economy, preserving the environment and fostering the creation of dignified employment opportunities for successive generations worldwide. It works towards promoting sustainable trade, curbing the prevalence of poverty, enhancing levels of social justice, and ensuring a fair distribution of income. Several reasons support the adoption of the green economy in sustainable development, especially in emerging economies (developing countries).

Written by 18 authors, this book on Sustainability, Climate Change and the Green Economy brings together insights at the nexus of the four key concepts embedded in its title. The book is unpacked in six parts. Part 1 is a single chapter that covers the context of the topic. Part 2 looks at the green economy and green jobs, and addresses the challenges of government coordination and socio-economic development, with emphasis on skills and immigration regimes. Part 3 reflects on sustainable development, with a focus on relearning our wants and needs, and provides critical reflection on engineering for sustainable development. Management of natural resources and wetlands makes up Part 4, which teases out issues on timber harvesting, as well as challenges and opportunities in addressing environment-economic development and growth conflicts. A critique of climate change coverage in news media, mainstreaming climate change into wildlife policies, and tourism, are matters covered in Part 5. The last part (Part 6) is another single chapter, which articulates emerging issues from the whole book and presents some policy and take-home messages. Given the growing literature in the field of sustainability, climate change and the green economy, this piece will prove a must-read for policy makers, academics, industry and civil society.

Sustainable development remains a significant issue in a globalized world requiring new economic standards and practices for the betterment of the environment as well as the world economy. However, sustainable economics must manage environmental solutions to issues on multiple levels and within various disciplines. There is a need for studies that seek to understand how environmental economics and governance within small and large sectors affect the capability and wellbeing of the global economy. Advanced Integrated Approaches to Environmental Economics and Policy: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential publication that focuses on the strategic role of environmental issues within the global economy. While highlighting topics such as complementary currency, reusable waste, and urban planning, this book is ideally designed for policymakers, environmental lawyers, economists, sociologists, politicians, academicians, researchers, and students seeking current research on increasing an organization’s sustainable performance at both public and private levels.

A key area of public policy in the last twenty years is the question of how, and how much, to protect vthe environment. At the heart of this has been the heated debate over the nature of the relationship between economic growth and environmental sustainability. Is environemental sustainability economic growth or `green growth', a contradiction in terms? Avoiding the confusion that often surrounds these issues, Ekins provides rigorous expositions of the concept of sustainability, integrated environmental and economic accounting, the Environmental Kuznets Curve, the economics of climate change and environmental taxation. Individual chapters are organised as self-contained, state-of-the-art expositions of the core issues of environmental economics, with extensive cross-referencing from one chapter to another, in order to guide the student or policy-maker through these complex problems. Paul Ekins breaks new ground in defining the conditions of compatibility between economic growth and environmental sustainability, and provides measures and criteria by which the environmental sustainability of economic growth, as it occurs in the real world, may be judged. It is argued that `green growth' is not only theoretically possible but economically achievable and the authors show what environmental and economic policies are required to achieve this. Economic Growth and Environmental Sustainability will be welcolmed by students of and researchers in environmental economics and environmental studies, as well as all interested policy-makers.
