Abstract

Planet earth since its birth has been the main source of supplying the life necessities of mankind. Because of incorrect and ill usage of this resource after industrial revolution and that mainly in their pure raw form, irrecoverable damages have been induced to planet earth. During past two decades, witnessing harmful effects of these ill usage such as rise in atmospheric temperature, biosphere destruction and increase in industrial waste pollution, has induced researcher and policy makers in advanced countries, to make changes in ways they plan for a sustained development and correct management of planet earth resources. The result of this revised thinking and change in economic planning is formation of a movement referred to as green economy. The name “green economy” is in reference to manufacturing of products that are in coherence with nature and living environment, as well as restructuring of commerce and social infrastructure so that while more profit is gained, the amount of CO2 emission and extraction of natural resources are reduced. It's now necessary that a sustainable development based on green economy be considered as one of the most important strategic guidelines of United Nation towards improvement of the quality of life of future generations.
