S takeholders 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.
