How can be connect between Environmental pollution and Economy. Economical upgrades destrys the Environment and Vice-varsa. What will be the sustainable Economic goals to keep a sustainable healthy environment.
As the economic growth increases ,the energy demand will also lead to a significant increment in global emissions of air pollutants,causing higher air pollution.Some policies can be like: promotion of green trade , Green insurance or ecological insurance ,implementation of environmental economic policy system ,traditional collection of environment-related fees , eco-friendly transportation and green building can be some of the possible ways to have sustainable social and economic development.
Unfortunately rapid economical growth is usually related to environmental pollution. Eco-friendly technologies are always more expensive and give lower immediate profit.
I don't agree with economic growth necessarily destroy environments. If politicians are honest and committed to environments and avoid corruptions, it is even possible to achieve prosperity and sustainability even with modest economy.
So, the policy makers should consider the Economic development process with considering on sustainable environment.
There is deep relationships between economic and environment not just with pollution even clean environment or gree energy but there is so many properties provide that
Environmental issues today represent a strategic issue for companies.
Long subordinate to the needs of the economic activity and considered as a set of unlimited resources, the environment appears today as a collective concern that needs to be integrated into productive activities.
Regulatory pressures and societal principles for the respect of ecosystems impose constraints that companies can not avoid
without compromising the legitimacy of their activities
I agree with Olga Bykova comment" Unfortunately rapid economical growth is usually related to environmental pollution. Eco-friendly technologies are always more expensive and give lower immediate profit".
Regardless economy, what we all need is targeted policies and attitude of politicians to effectivly control environmental degradation.
The race to better manage greenhouse gases (GHGs) in a timely manner was worthy of the 2018 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with the development of the Dynamic Integrated Climate-Economy (DICE) model by Yale University’s Dr. William D. Nordhaus: GHG growth = gross domestic product (GDP) growth plus population growth +/- GHG intensity of the economy. Suggest you look at his work.
“The hypothesis that countries must go through a phase of pollution as they grow is not substantiated. Proven, cost-effective pollution control strategies are available today to countries at every income level.”
the reference: The Lancet Commission on pollution and health, 2017, Lancet
The relationship between environmental pollution and the economy is complex and multi-faceted. When the scale of environmental pollution grows, people more and more often get sick with various diseases and the production of healthy, non-polluted crops in agriculture decreases, the costs of treating diseases by health care institutions increase, etc. Then the people's ability to work effectively decreases and the economy becomes inefficient. In addition, in such a situation there is a growing need to create economic eco-innovations, thanks to which it is possible to reduce the scale of environmental pollution, improve waste segregation and recycling, improve the technology of purifying water from pollution, reduce the mission of greenhouse gases through the development of renewable energy sources, etc. it is necessary to finance these pro-ecological projects under green finance. commercial banks can provide green credits to finance environmental projects. As part of its environmental policy, the state implements pro-ecological state intervention by granting subsidies to enterprises building power plants generating electricity and heat from renewable energy sources, developing electromobility, producing electric cars and other vehicles powered by renewable energy sources. All these activities fall within the scope of implementing the principles of sustainable development, taking into account social environmental (ecological) responsibility and pro-ecological reforms of implementing eco-innovations into economic processes, etc. In this way, it is possible to carry out the pro-ecological transformation of a traditional brown economy into a sustainable green economy / circular economy. Therefore, there are many relationships and correlations between the issue of environmental pollution and the economy.
