    Green capitalism is an environmentalist perspective that views natural capital and ecosystem services as assets that should be reflected in market operations through policy tools like carbon taxes. It recognizes the economic value of nature and aims to reduce human impacts by ensuring markets consider environmental factors. As resources become scarcer, green capitalism argues that using fewer materials and energy is good for both profits and the planet. It seeks a growing economy that places less strain on natural systems by valuing them as capital.

    GREEN CAPITALISM

     Also known as Ec0-capitalism or Environmental


    Capitalism
     the view that capital exists in nature as “natural
    capital” (ecosystems that have ecological yield) in
    which all wealth depends. Therefore, government
    should use market-based policy instruments
    (such as Carbon Tax) to resolve environmental
    problems.
     It is a form of environmentalism that emphasizes the
    economic value of ecosystems and biological diversity and
    attempts to reduce human environmental impacts by ensuring
    that the importance of environmental services is reflected in
    the way that markets operate. It starts from the recognition of
    services that societies depend on.
     As resources become scarcer and therefore more expensive, all
    businesses will have to figure out how to do more with less. The
    green capitalism tells us, is that using fewer resources- energy,
    raw materials, water- is good not only for the planet but also
    for profits.
     Green Capitalist’s bottom line is that is promises a growing
    economy that uses less from the biosphere.
    Includes:
     Provisioning Services (the supply of water, food & energy)
     Regulating Services (carbon sequestration and water
    purification)
     Cultural Services (recreational services and as ecotourism and
    outdoor sports)
    Green capitalism extends the economic concept of capital
    (assets used to produce goods and services) to include “natural
    capital.”
    GREEN ECONOMY
    - a green environmentally friendly economy that promotes
    health, wealth and well-being.
    - It is dependent on sustainable development- which means
    growing our economies in ways that benefit, not sacrifice,
    social justice and equity as well as the environment. The idea is
    to serve the needs of the present without threatening the
    quality of life in future generations.
    - Defined as low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive.
    Growth in employment and income are driven by public and
    private investment into such economic activities,
    infrastructure and assets, that allow reduced carbon emissions
    and pollution, enhanced energy and resource efficiency, and
    prevention of the loss of biodiversity and ecosystems services.
    Role of Green Economy:
    Sustainable Consumption and Production and
    Resource Efficiency for Sustainable
    Development
    Sustainable Consumption and Production aims to
    improve production processes and consumption practices to
    reduce resource consumption, waste generation and emissions
    across the full life cycle of processes and products while
    Resource Efficiency for Sustainable Development refers
    to the ways in which resources are used to deliver value to
    society and aims to reduce the amount of resources needed, and
    emissions and waste generated, per unit of product or service.
    Three main areas for the current
    work on Green Economy:
    1) Advocacy of macro-economic
    approach to sustainable economic
    growth through regional , sub-
    regional and national fora.
    2) Demonstration of Green Economy
    approaches with a central focus on
    access to green finance, technology
    and investments.

    3) Support to countries in terms of


    development and mainstreaming of
    macro-economic policies to support
    the transition to a Green Economy.
