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.

                        Government and Private Agencies

                 Governments and private agencies create and implement  sustainable development laws, policies, plans, standards,
                 programs, and international agreements.
                 Almost all Ministries of the Government of India are involved in making decisions for long-term development. However,
                 the Ministries of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Agriculture, Water Resources, Finance, Industries,
                 Rural Development, Commerce, and Non-conventional Energy Sources have a significant role.
                 Some of the functions of government are:
                 •  Develops policies and funds the implementation of plans and policies.
                 •   Enacts  legislation (laws),  such  as  'The  Environment  (Protection)  Act,  1986' to  safeguard  the  environment  and
                    prosecute violators.
                 •   Establishes missions, such as the Green India Mission and the National Solar Mission, to carry out green economy
                    projects; and
                 •   Collaborates with scientists and educates the public on environmentally sound practices (pollution management,
                    chemical-free farming).

                 Private Agencies
                 In a country as broad and diverse as ours, the government cannot ensure the development of the green economy on its
                 own. For the success of fostering a green economy, private agencies, non-governmental organisations, social workers,
                 private corporations, and individual people must collaborate with the government.
