IntroductionPerhaps the single most important challenge facing society today is the need for

economic activity to remain within the ecological constraints of a finite planet.

In recent years, the issues of new energy, renewable energy, preventing the destruction

of nature, the proper use of natural energy instead of fossil fuels and discussions like this

have attracted dramatic global attention. This attention even goes beyond the economic

issues and has become political debates and conflicts among nations.

Introduction

RI20 conference in 2012, the G8 meetings and many of these kinds of meetings among powers prove the significance of this issue.

wellbeing of human society and on the other hand it reduces the environmental risks.

Within the green economy, businesses interact with and are influenced by the government agencies, universities, non-profit organizations, unions, utilities and trade associations in the regional innovation system, we should acknowledge here straight away that the green economy itself is still a contested concept. To some, it represents a way to save a failing economic system. “A green economy grows faster than a ‘brown’ economy over time, while maintaining and restoring natural capital.
