To save the Environment, we have to first improve our economy and lead to green economy from present brown economy by the following means shown in presentation.
2. Content:
• What is “Green Economy”
• Greening the Energy Needs
• Green Economy in Industries
• Opportunities in Tourism
• Greening Cities
• Green Economy in Agriculture
3. The green economy is
defined as
an economy that aims
at reducing
environmental risks
and ecological
scarcities, and that
aims for sustainable
development without
degrading the
environment.

6. Cause of this crises vary, but Gross Misallocation of
Capital
Last 2 decades, much capital poured in:
Property
Fossil Fuel
Structured Financial Assets Embeded derivatives
7. Relatively Little in comparison was invested in renewable energy
Energy efficiency
Public Transportation
Sustainable Agriculture
Ecosystem
Biodiversity Protection
Land and Water Conservation
8. Brown Economy
Currently: heavily weighted towards,
and encourage, the prevailing brown
economy, which depends on fossil fuel,
Resource depletion and
environmental degradation.
Practiced for Last “150 years” all over the world
Rising of Related Problems
11. Green energy, which
includes green electricity,
is clean energy. This means it
is produced with little-to-no
environmental impact and
does not dispense
greenhouse gases into the air
that contribute to global
warming, the way fossil fuels
do.
16. Renewable Energy Has More Economic
Benefits than you know:
The first point is that there are a huge number of
people employed in renewable energy jobs
globally. There are almost 10 million of
them around the world. Slightly over 3 million
are employed in solar power. Large hydropower
employs about 1.5 million people, and 1.2 million
are in wind power employment.
Another economic benefit — which doesn’t
seem to get enough attention — is that
renewable energy is scalable in areas where
there is very little or no electricity. For example,
there are over one billion people who don’t have
access to electricity. Getting home solar power
systems gives them access to something that can
change their lives for the better.
17. Energy Efficiency
Adding new, more efficient energy
technology can reduce waste in current
systems. “India has seen other benefits
to renewable energy, too”
Climate Change
It has been established that climate
change can intensify weather, including
causing severe events like hurricanes,
cyclones, tornadoes, and wildfires which
are burden to the economy
21. 1) Re-design products and/or business
models so that the same functionality
can be delivered with fundamentally less
use of materials and energy.
22. 2) Substitute green inputs for brown
inputs wherever possible. For
example, introduce biomass
as a source of chemical feedstock.
3) Recycle internal process
wastes, including waste-water,
high temperature heat, back
pressure, etc. Use materials and
energy with less environmental
impact, e.g. renewable or waste
as inputs for production
processes
23. 4) Introduce new, cleaner
technologies and improve the
efficiency of existing processes
to leapfrog and establish new
modes of production that have
a fundamentally higher
material- and energy
efficiency.
24. Sustainable Development
of Industrial zones in
India:
Introduction of the eco-
industrial parks approach
(EIP)
Transformation of existing
parks into EIPs /
planning of new EIPs
Environmental
management plans waste
minimization, clean air / air
pollution
prevention, risk
management / hazardous
waste,
etc.
An Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) or estate in which
businesses cooperate with each other and with
the local community in an attempt to reduce
waste and pollution, efficiently share resources
(such as information, materials, water, energy,
infrastructure, and natural resources), and help
achieve sustainable development, with the
intention of increasing economic gains and
improving environmental quality.
30. More than half of the world population lives in
urban areas. Cities now account for 75 of energy
consumption and 75 of carbon emissions.
For greening the cities:
1) Use mass transportations instead of
automotives that consume large amount
of oil.
2)In the buldings efficient use of all
resources such as energy, water and
other materials.
3)Reduce energy consumption and
adopting renewable energy resources.
31. 4) Parks, protected green space and gardens,
street trees and landscaping provide vital
ecosystem services, acting as green lungs
absorbing and filtering air pollution or as
acting as filters for waste water.
5) Upgrading and replacement of pipes has
contributed to net savings of 20 of potable
water in many industrialised cities.
6) Rain can be harvested and
used as drinking and non-drinking water.
7) Food Footprint
34. In conclusion, a green economy has the potential to
the path of sustainable development. It can also help
to eradicate poverty. However, the speed of the
transition into a green economy varies among country.
Knowledge, information and resources are essential
during the transition to greener economy. During the
progress, there will be new challenges posing during
the journey to Green economy.
