“…Figure 3 shows the green growth effect by implementing the green economy. In Tanzania, the concept of green economy has been redesigned and reinterpreted green implementation to suit their basic aspects and governance in agri-business [10]. The agricultural sector has good potential in the future, but there are some problems that arise such as problems of workers, capital and land.…”

“…Initiatives like 'the' green economy are tenuously and contingently brought together through encounters between actors who have their own political goals and accumulation strategies, who adopt claims and counterclaims based on particular ideas of development, and who work hard to maintain a world view in the face of tension and friction (Tsing 2005). As such, globalized and internationalist ideologies are locally reconfigured according to contextual political debates and needs (Buseth 2017). Green economy policies help actors negotiate particular forms of social, institutional and political life (even as they appear discursively as a form of direct financial accumulation or ecological fix).…”

“…However, while there have been several analyses which focus on the construction of the green economy as a discursive truth regime, there has been less attention from political ecologists on how these policies have actually been adopted and reworked in particular national contexts (Buseth 2017;Vladimirova 2017). This article seeks to expand current debates in political ecology by exploring the construction and mobilization of Mozambique's green economy, as mediated through its contentious resource politics.…”

The tangled politics of conservation and resource extraction in Mozambique's green economy

This article explores how Mozambique's green economy has been produced through the intersection of global ideas about green development, regional economic development dynamics, and local debates and political pressures around extraction and conservation. Mozambique's green economy aims to compress many of its current challenges into a seemingly attractive and compelling agenda. The green economy discourse has produced a new relationship between the conservation and extractives sector, characterized by 'green' financing and offsetting measures intended to handle (at least on paper) the contradictions between extractives-led growth and sustainable development. However, the green economy vision has also provided specific actors with ways to contest extraction. The article provides a lens onto the production of green economy policies and institutions in Mozambique, the way the policy combines neoliberal and non-neoliberal political ideas, and how green economy ideas are played out in the situated politics of debates over conservation and extraction. I consider how 'the' green economy is reworked through tracing a particular case – the recent debates over whether a large coal port should be built in the Ponta do Ouro Marine Reserve. This foregrounds the multiple and often ambiguous uses of green economy discourses to pursue different, and sometimes contradictory agendas. The article contributes new empirical information on the roll-out of green economies in a developing country context, while also seeking to expand current political ecology literature on neoliberalism and green economies more generally.Key words: Mozambique, green economy, neoliberal nature, extractives, conservation, assemblage

“…The main objective of green growth/economy is establishing motivations or institutions to increase well‐being by amending resource management and enhancing productivity 6 . Its concept, which covers many technological and economic aspects/drivers, is an effective mobilization tool to move the economy toward sustainability in economic growth, resource management, and the global environment 7–11 . This issue is not specified only among countries but also within countries, for example, across industries 12 .…”

A CO₂ emissions assessment of the green economy in Iran

This study aims to provide an assessment of total and sectoral CO2 emissions of Iran using a macroeconomic climate analysis. It uses two quantitative approaches (i.e., energy–economy–environment indicators and econometric analysis) that complement each other. According to the latest accessible data (1971–2016), evidence shows that, first, the change in Iran's total primary energy supply can significantly explain the variation of CO2 emissions in Iran, while energy intensity and CO2 intensity cannot significantly explain its variability. Second, CO2 emissions in Iran are increasing rapidly and the country is not moving toward the green economy situations. Third, the increase in energy intensity is mostly related to significant increases in energy consumption rather than increases in economic activity. This evidence shows that Iran's CO2 intensity highly depends on the consumption of fossil fuels. Fourth, the econometric estimates suggest that CO2 emissions, in comparison with other examined variables, change significantly in response to changes in per capita GDP, energy intensity, and carbon intensity. Fifth, the main contributors to industrial CO2 emissions are industrial per capita GDP and energy and carbon intensities, while in the transport sectors, the main contributors are the number of vehicles, transport energy intensity, and carbon intensity. Sixth, further decomposition analysis shows the positive impact of per capita GDP and the negative impacts of energy structure and energy efficiency on total CO2 emissions in Iran. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
