Conference Objectives! Earth has lost many valuable resources! Dear Folks, It is disheartening to note that the Mother Earth has lost many valuable resources during the past three centuries.

What is a Green Economy? “A Green Economy can be defined as one that results in improved human well‐being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities”. (UNEP). Green Economy and Sustainable Development! The UN’s Step in the Right Direction! The United Nations Organization (UN) has pursued the concept of green economy for many years. It is heartening to note that UN’s green economy vision has grown out its thinking on sustainable development, which emphasizes both social and environmental sustainability. But the UN’s green economy work has shown that many actions to ensure environmental sustainability can also help to alleviate poverty and enhance social sustainability. The transition to a green economy represents a big challenge, one that will involve a major makeover of large sectors of the global economy. The UN has charted a course outlining how the transition could occur. In particular, the UN has articulated the need for a handful of enabling conditions that will be critical for the transition to a green economy. In this scenario, the upcoming conference aims at achieving the following objectives: 1. Providing an ideal platform for academicians, researchers and economists specialized in green economics to share their research findings in light of the increased importance being gained by the concept of green economy; 2. Identifying and analyzing the need for change to a greener economy which assures resource efficiency; 3. Giving fresh fillip to the forces and sectors such as agriculture, fisheries and water that would help greening the global economy; 4. Suggesting suitable measures to save the world from different crisis such as fuel crisis, food crisis and financial crisis.
