By Dr. Hiranmoy Roy, Dr. Bhartendu Kumar Chaturvedi, Dr. Vijay Kumar Sharma and Dr. Vipul Singh

Sustainable Development Framework for Green Economy: Concepts, Tools, and Applications examines green economics as an alternative to conventional economic paradigms. The book discusses the foundations and intellectual roots of green economics, the integration of sustainable development with economic growth, environmental stewardship and social equity, and the redefinition of ecological, social and economic values for sustainability. It covers institutional dynamics, environmental accounting and cost-benefit analysis, green industrial transformation, globalization and the ecology-economy nexus, green trade at local and global levels, and the theory of green taxation. Later chapters address localization, ecological modernization, carbon trading, indicators beyond GDP and equity in climate agreements. The book is a useful resource for students, researchers and policy makers in economics and environmental studies.
