Green industrialization for the sustainable future of developing countries: A critical study
description: The 2015 United Nations conference on sustainable development advanced seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are essential for a sustainable future. Most of these goals either directly or indirectly affirm the importance of environmental protection. They also emphasize the need for social and economic sustainability. The various UN conferences stated that sustainable development has three essential elements such as economic, social and environmental sustainability and they are interconnected. Economic sustainability is achievable only through economic growth and the developed counties are in that high position. But the developing countries are still trying to make a potential stand. In the absence of economic growth, social inequalities are predominant in the Global South. Besides, they also face severe environmental insecurities. In order to achieve all these essentials, green industrialization was suggested. In this perspective, this chapter critically analyzes the feasibility of green industrialization to achieve sustainable future for the developing countries. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
