Eco-Entrepreneurship as a Driver of Growth in the Green Economy
A country’s green growth strategy encompasses both socioeconomic and ecological development, with eco-entrepreneurship playing an essential role. In recent years, the government has taken major steps to tackle environmental issues through social entrepreneurship, and young people in particular are increasingly becoming involved in the development of eco-friendly companies. What government measures are needed to foster an ecosystem which is conducive to social and ecological development, and also supports young eco-entrepreneurs? What would be the most effective ways to support youth employment in the sector? What aspects of international experience in fostering eco-initiatives could be applied in various areas of the economy, including agriculture, alternative energy, forestry management, tourism and others?
