The United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) has defined green economy as one that results in improved
human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental
risks and ecological scarcities. In its simplest expression, a green economy
can be thought of as one which is low carbon, resource efficient and socially
inclusive. It is closely related with ecological economics, but has a more
politically applied focus. A low-carbon economy (LCE) also known as
low-fossil-fuel economy (LFFE), or decarbonised economy is an economy based on
low carbon power sources that therefore has a minimal output of greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions into the environment biosphere, but specifically refers to the
greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. GHG emissions due to anthropogenic (human)
activity are increasingly either causing climate change (global warming) or
making climate change worse.
