Why is it important?

The finding of this paper indicates that the Sustainable Development and Green Growth Policies are not supportive to overall development objectives of the emerging world. Furthermore, promoting the ecological friendly policies for the development nations is essentially about restricting their growth and development objectives.

Perspectives

I believe it is timely to recognize the ever-evolving needs of the emerging nations when it comes to policing and promoting the discoursed of sustainability. Because the socio-economic necessities of these nations are often taken for granted when enforcing green agenda​ through a web of world institutions.
