Green Technology and Its Impact on Economic Sustainability After 2020

Abstract

This article presents the concept of green technology, a cornerstone of the modern economy, It represents the interplay between technological advancement and environmental protection on one hand, and the achievement of sustainable economic growth on the other, The emergence of the "green technology" concept is linked to the industrial transformations the world has witnessed since the mid-20th century, particularly after the energy crisis of the 1970s. Industrialized nations recognized the necessity of transitioning to clean and renewable energy sources to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease carbon emissions. Therefore, green technology is defined as a set of innovations and technological measures aimed at improving resource efficiency and reducing environmental emissions to ensure sustainable economic growth. The researcher argues that green technology is not merely a subsidiary environmental or economic policy, but rather a comprehensive development strategy that is reshaping the global economy in the 21st century. It enables a three-dimensional balance between economic growth (through increased productivity and investment), environmental sustainability (through reduced emissions and resource efficiency), and social stability (through the creation of decent and secure jobs). Adopting green technology is the best way to build resilient, equitable, and innovative economies, and should be seen as new development capital driving the wave of global economic transformation until 2050.
