It is widely accepted that human activities are the primary drivers of global warming and environmental crises, including the rapid loss of biodiversity.

The idea behind green growth is to continue expanding economies while minimising environmental harm. However, critics argue that this approach has failed to significantly curb climate change and biodiversity loss.
