All sectors of society and all sorts of individuals must actively participate for sustainable development to occur. People
        interested in a green economy can be classified into the major stakeholder categories. Let us learn about some of them.

        Government
        Governments and municipal bodies create and implement laws, policies, strategies, standards, programs, agreements
        with other countries, and activities to promote sustainable development.

        Non-Governmental Organisations
        Many individual social workers and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) assist the government and community in
        adopting green economic measures.

        Companies
        The success  of the green economy is  dependent  on active participation from both the public and private sectors.
        Companies must adhere to good business operations while also protecting the environment.

        Workers
        Workers play a critical role in our economy. Green policies seek to provide them with:
        •  a decent living and a decent job in a healthy environment
        •  access to health care, clean water and sanitation
        •  access to education and skill development


        Farmers
        Farmers grow food and generate agricultural items for the entire country. They are one of the most vital components of
        any economy and society. They play an important part in the success of a green economy.

        Native Tribes
        Native or indigenous people are the original inhabitants of a territory who continue to live by their old way of life. Many
        such tribes in India's hills and forests can benefit from the green economy. For example, tribals in Nangur village in Bastar
        district, Chattisgarh have greatly benefited from using various parts of the ‘Mahua’ plant to make eco-friendly plates,
        cones and bowls. The tribals have turned this into a lucrative local business.

        Science and Technology
        Science and technology is required in all sectors of sustainable development. Scientists can explain technical issues to
        governments and policymakers. They can also offer long-term answers to improve people's lives.
        Example of multiple stakeholders working together—The ‘Liter of Light’ initiative assists in bringing light to underprivileged
        households.
