“…Divergent opinions exist on whether green growth is a panacea for the challenges humanity faces because of climate change and environmental and natural resource vulnerabilities (Pullanikkatil, Mubako, & Munthali, 2014). First, broad international consensus views the green economy as a route to poverty reduction and sustainable development (Burkolter & Perch, 2014; Faccer, Nahman, & Audouin, 2014; UNEP, 2011), and multilateral institutions such as UNEP and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) have been credited with universalizing the concept (Faccer, Nahman, & Audouin, 2014). Theoretically, those countries investing in sustainable technology transfer should witness a general rise in the standard of green technologies across its economy.…”

Green growth versus economic growth: Do sustainable technology transfer and innovations lead to an imperfect choice?

A concern with the mitigation of climate change cuts a transversal line across economic agents, epitomized by two contradictory viewpoints. Some defend that green growth can be achieved without harming economic growth; others argue that it is not possible to respect sustainability if intensive consumption of goods continues to foster economic growth. Our research aims to analyze the role that sustainable technology transfer and sustainable innovations play in green growth and ascertain the impact of green growth on economic growth. We use aggregated country-level data provided by the OECD, including national accounts, population, and environment statistics (including patents) between 1990 and 2013 for 32 countries, corresponding to an unbalanced panel of 591 observations. We estimate econometric models based on dynamic panel methodologies to capture differences that exist over time. The results show that sustainable technology transfer and sustainable innovation promote green growth, which in turn positively impacts economic growth. We contribute new insight to the green growth versus economic growth debate and provide several political and management implications.

“…We recognise the limitations of this approach, and this is not intended to be a direct comparison between clean tech and degrowth, nor do we view this as a binary divide. Rather these are stylised interpretations of the green economy which can help to orientate the debate and future research, as well as offering exploratory case studies to illustrate the diversity of initiatives that exist (Faccer et al, 2014).…”

Future green economies and regional development: a research agenda

2016

The past thirty years have seen an explosion of interest and concern over the detrimental impacts of economic and industrial development. Despite this, the environmental agenda has not featured substantially in the regional studies literature. This paper explores a range of options for regional futures from a 'clean tech' economy and the promise of renewed accumulation, through to more radical degrowth concepts focused on altering existing modes of production and consumption, ecological sustainability and social justice. In so doing, we investigate the potential role of regions as drivers of the new green economy, drawing on research into sustainability transitions.

Unsurprisingly, the green economy has similarities with Islamic finance.…”

A green economy is expected to solve the failure of the conventional economy to address climate change. It would do this by emphasising the balance between economic and environmental factors – an approach that is in line with the existing concept of Islamic finance. As a new field, research related to the green economy is still developing. This study attempts to provide quantitative information on this development. In total, Scopus lists 1183 papers, including journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers, on this subject, all produced between 1961 and 2021. This study employed the Biblioshiny package from R-studio and Excel software to synthesise and analyse this data. In addition, we identified relevancies between the green economy and Islamic finance using existing research. Regarding the results obtained, the natural fit between Islamic finance and a green economy would naturally support the implementation of the latter. Furthermore, the results show that sukuk, in particular, is a potential instrument in Islamic finance for promoting a green economy.
