This discussion is a compilation of fresh and innovative ideas on the process of greening the global economy from the perspective of different disciplines and regions of the world. This book is a reflection of the Green Economics Institute's global network, which was put together by Judith Felton, Miriam Kennet and Michelle Gale de Oliveira to drive change and spread the discipline of green economics throughout the world. This network is rich in different perspectives of global affairs and regional issues, which has shed light on serious problems affecting the global economy.From the Eurozone crisis affecting my country, Portugal, and other European countries, to the rapid growth of the BRICS and the social uprisings in North Africa and the Middle-East, the economy is giving signs of weakness. As we argue in this book, green economics can reform and transform the economy system into one that promotes economic, social and environmental justice.
This book is therefore a practical handbook of ideas, issues, solutions and experiences from people all around the globe. For economists, students, policy makers and community campaigners as well as governments and ministers, this volume explores case studies from around the world to inspire other communities and countries to overcome their economic and social problems through the greening of their economy. We hope you enjoy the book and take part in the movement of greening the global economy! Sofia Amaral September 2013
