                        Stakeholders in Green Economy

                 A stakeholder is defined as somebody who has an interest or concern in something (company, policy, or activity). A
                 green  economy  has  many  stakeholders  since,  it  impacts  everyone  and  requires  the  assistance  of  many  individuals.
                 Because the environment impacts you and your activities have an impact on the environment, you are an important
                 stakeholder as well.

                 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.
