There is only one thing that all living beings on Earth would not want to need in the future; A new world!
The ongoing rapid population growth and industrialization have led to a search for solutions to prevent this need from arising and to ensure the sustainability of a livable world, with the 'Green Economy' model defined by UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) as a proposed solution. Defined by UNEP as an economy that increases social welfare and social diversity while reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities, the Green Economy aims to address environmental issues and social problems such as income inequality, resulting in applications like green cities, green taxes, green buildings, etc. The green economy, which targets a higher quality of life for all societies, argues that growth can be achieved not by increasing the consumption of natural resources but by reducing the consumption of these resources. Within the framework of sustainable development, the fact that energy consumption and the use of natural resources are at the root of many environmental problems, along with the capital-profit fears of industrialized countries that play a significant role in increasing the carbon footprint causing climate change, complicates the feasibility of the 'Green Economy' model. However, renewable energy is cheaper, more accessible, and more profitable. In response to the rapid and excessive consumption of natural resources, the ecological scarcity that arises will become more pronounced in the coming years, and during the transition process to the Green Economy, increasing awareness of this economic model as a way of thinking, ensuring the creation of suitable conditions, and facilitating necessary studies in key sectors for the Green Economy will play a significant role in overcoming our quest for a new world.
