Green prevails

Author's name: Amir Labdaoui

Economic development is no longer a static path, but a dynamic process based on continuous adaptation and change, in a world where environmental sustainability is a prerequisite for competitiveness and survival in the global economy. As in nature, only those who can adapt will survive.

This book offers an in-depth analysis of how nations are adapting to new structural shifts and how they can leverage the implications of climate change as an opportunity for transformation, not merely a burden. It begins by analyzing the industrial geography of a low-carbon economy globally, addressing carbon reduction policies, sustainable production practices, the limitations of ill-conceived climate finance policies, and the rise of green protectionism.

The book shows how a low-carbon economy, despite its promises, can lead to widening economic gaps between countries, before discussing ways to push the green transition towards a more equitable and inclusive path.
