This book provides a comprehensive exploration of green policies essential for achieving a sustainable world. It delves into the intricate relationship between environmental governance and sustainable development, offering actionable insights and practical solutions. "Green Policies for a Sustainable World" is designed to be a definitive guide for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners dedicated to creating and implementing effective environmental policies. The book begins with an analysis of global environmental agreements such as the Paris Agreement and the role of international organizations like UNEP and IPCC in promoting green policies. It then examines renewable energy policies, energy efficiency standards, and successful case studies on renewable energy transitions. Sustainable transportation policies and urban planning for green cities are discussed, highlighting innovative infrastructure solutions. Strategies for biodiversity conservation, sustainable agriculture and forestry practices, and effective water resource management are also explored. Addressing climate change impacts through policies, carbon pricing mechanisms, and adaptation strategies for vulnerable communities is a key focus. The book also delves into waste reduction and recycling policies, circular economy principles, and successful waste management initiatives. Economic instruments such as green taxation, subsidies, environmental impact assessments, and green finance strategies are examined for their role in promoting sustainability. Challenges in policy design and implementation, stakeholder engagement, and adaptive management of green policies are discussed to provide a practical perspective on governance.

This book provides a cutting-edge exploration of how artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Big Data are revolutionizing environmental sustainability and green governance. It highlights how these digital innovations can drive effective policy implementation, improve climate resilience, and enhance sustainable urban development. As climate change and environmental degradation accelerate, traditional governance approaches often struggle to provide timely and efficient solutions. This book delves into how emerging technologies are reshaping environmental policy and decision-making, from AI-driven climate modeling to IoT-based smart infrastructure and Big Data analytics for resource management. By integrating these innovations, governments, businesses, and researchers can develop smarter, data-driven strategies to mitigate environmental risks, optimize energy consumption, and improve waste management practices. Key topics covered include digital governance for sustainability, AI applications in environmental monitoring, the role of IoT in smart cities, Big Data’s contribution to climate resilience, and policy frameworks for integrating technology into green initiatives. The book also presents case studies from different regions, showcasing successful digital transformations in waste reduction, water conservation, carbon credit trading, and circular economy models. This book addresses a crucial knowledge gap by bridging technology and environmental governance, offering practical insights into the future of sustainable policymaking. It is an essential resource for policymakers, sustainability professionals, urban planners, environmental researchers, and technology innovators seeking to harness digital tools for a greener, more resilient world.

Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Economy - Environment economics, grade: 4.00 out of the scale 4.00, , language: English, abstract: Climate changes and associated impacts make people think about changing their traditional consumption patterns and go for purchasing green products to make this earth livable for the future generation. The study aimed at verifying the factors determining green purchase decision of energy saving light users of Barishal city. A total of 200 (two hundred) respondents participated in the study who are only from Barishal city and use energy-saving lights. In this study, the author employed the judgmental sampling technique to collect responses from the participants through a self-administered questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the empirical data and test the proposed hypotheses of the study via AMOS 23. The findings of the study revealed that perceived benefits (.41) have the most significant effect towards green purchase decision of energy saving light users in Barishal city. Marketing factors (.18) and environmental knowledge (.15) have also significant effect towards green purchase decision of energy saving light users. In this study, peer groups are considered as insignificant determinants for the consumers of energy saving lights. Marketing factors (.21) have a significant effect on environmental knowledge which is the mediating variable in the study. This paper will help marketers formulate effective strategies based on these results to reach target markets and contribute to the sustainable environment.
