Green economy weak sides
Green economy hasn’t been working properly, due to:
Lack of global governance > Rio +20 turned into Rio -20

Politics failure

Pretending to be sustainable is still mainstream and negative externalities on the environment are still out of corporate accountability
Greenwashing

Is it 100% green?
Products, even the so called ‘green’ ones, require natural resource

Green economy strategies are based on technological approaches and not on civic engagement both top-down and bottom-up
Technology is not the only answer
![Page 7: Green economy next trend MER - Valencia 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052907/55937fa61a28ab11218b45cb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Planned obsolescence
Enterprises are being still focus on launching into the marketplace short-life products which become useless or out of fashion after a bunch of months
![Page 8: Green economy next trend MER - Valencia 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052907/55937fa61a28ab11218b45cb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Lack of transparency
When we buy something we don't know if its production process had anyenvironmental and social impact, if it caused greenhouse gases emission, nor
we know the consequences of its disposal
![Page 9: Green economy next trend MER - Valencia 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052907/55937fa61a28ab11218b45cb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Green technologies imply a smart use of it, a smart use involves an effectiveenvironmental communication and education plan of action
Smartly unsmart

10 key-words for the coming Green economy
Due to a increasing sense of community and web 2.0 communication empowerment, citizens can collaborate with business to design new products, services and business models
•Patagonia through ebay exhort its customers to buy and/or recycle its second handproducts
•Walmart uses its own customers to deliver online orders
Collaboration

Transparency
By means of corporate accountability but, firstly, a direct and trustful relationship with consumers, companies will be much more pushed to get its
stakeholders known about social and environmental impact of its activities
![Page 12: Green economy next trend MER - Valencia 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052907/55937fa61a28ab11218b45cb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Distributed
We’ll be ever more self-entrepreneurs (we’ll be producing electric energy we need, renting a room, selling second hand’s, etc.)

Sharing
• Future Economy will be about Access and not ownership
• 52% of USA citizens have rented or borrowed their goods over the past two years (Sunrun2012).64% of britons (ThePeoplewhoshare) and 1 french out of 2 (Observatoire de la Confiance) declaired to take part in the sharing economy.

Reputation
It’s the most important value of a company operating in an aware and informed consumers-shaped market
Reputation is based on trust. Trust is based on transparency
![Page 15: Green economy next trend MER - Valencia 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052907/55937fa61a28ab11218b45cb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Information
Nowadays citizens can much more easily access to informations about enterprises and thus make a decision/vote about business policy in
terms of ethic and sustainability (boycott or buycott)
![Page 16: Green economy next trend MER - Valencia 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052907/55937fa61a28ab11218b45cb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Communication
Communication is no longer one-to-many,
it’s a more democratic many-to-many communication
![Page 17: Green economy next trend MER - Valencia 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052907/55937fa61a28ab11218b45cb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Social innovation
Social Innovation is not only a necessity due to the economic crisis, instead is an increasingly adopted, open and bottom-up way to improve a process meanwhile meeting social needs of all kinds
![Page 18: Green economy next trend MER - Valencia 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052907/55937fa61a28ab11218b45cb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Participation
Ever more informed and empowered citizens, in terms of capabilities, disappointed by politics, are social players willing to participate, to
express themselves also by means of green consumption
![Page 19: Green economy next trend MER - Valencia 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052907/55937fa61a28ab11218b45cb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing is the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, and
especially from an online community, rather than from traditional employees or suppliers
![Page 20: Green economy next trend MER - Valencia 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052907/55937fa61a28ab11218b45cb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Know-how and production processes are no longer a business prerogative.
This suggests that not only will business find the solutions we need to overcome the difficult transition period that lies ahead.
These will come from the bottom, from millions of
small entrepreneurs, inventors, hackers, CITIZENS.
