In the contemporary world, environmental concerns and sustainable development are increasingly taking center stage. Within this context, the concept of the green economy emerges as a pivotal component of a strategy aimed at achieving balanced socio-economic progress while respecting the environment. The green economy represents an innovative approach to organizing production and consumption, seeking to minimize the negative impact on the environment. This article explores the fundamental principles and advantages of the green economy, examining its role in shaping a sustainable future. From the implementation of efficient technologies to the creation of sustainable business models, we delve into how the green economy can be a decisive factor in achieving global sustainability and preserving the richness of natural resources for future generations.
