The concept of the green economy has developed as a strategic focus for government of different countries over the last
              decade. These countries will be better prepared to face the major issues of the twenty-first century, such as urbanisation
              and resource scarcity, as well as climate change and economic volatility if they transform their economies into drivers of
              sustainability.
