It depends where the Green Governance has to be applied: within a community, a state, a country or inside a company or even in a non-governmental organization. In each context, there is always a notion of "sustainability" with "less pressure" on the environment. Now, it depends where such policy of green governance is going to be implemented, then the conditions could be very different. However, the very first starting point is a commitment, a political will, and a strategy that can be effective. Sometimes, all plannings are there, resources are available, but nothing happens, since the commitment does not exist. In fact, I believe the Black Box of decision-making is has the major part for a move towards green governance.
Even well informed populations have had in the past, and still have, a difficult time in resisting the great powers of finance an industry whose short term interests are absolutely not compatible with a sustainable human activity. This human activity must stay moderate and not in "development" to keep th epressure down on the environment. So "Green Governance" is probably an oxymore.
