                      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.
