Synopsis

The rapid development of countries with industrialization has inevitably caused the environment to be negatively affected by this development. While countries want to grow economically, they also have to protect the environment they are in. In this context, the concept of sustainability gains importance. Because sustainability means being able to meet current development needs in a way that does not hinder the capacity of future generations to meet their own needs.

In this context, the concept of Green economy comes to the fore. Because Green economy refers to a growth model that considers the continuity of the ecosystem and environmentally friendly employment for a sustainable development. This concept has recently gained great importance with the development of policies towards environmental sensitivity by all countries, especially the EU.

Our book consists of a total of eleven chapters that include current developments in different fields of social sciences on the basis of green approaches, especially sustainability.
