Sažetak
The broader vision of a successful global green economy implies the separation of economic activity from negative impacts on the environment. By realizing this vision, it is possible to set the global economy on a more sustainable path, which means preventing the very harmful effects of global warming not only on the environment, but also on economic prosperity. Preventing global warming implies a transition from the use of energy based on fossil fuels to renewable sources, which is why the stated challenge policy makers and investors often view the green transition only from a cost perspective, and not from an environmental perspective. However, the transition to a sustainable environment by 2050 also has the potential to create enormous opportunities in the global economy. The paper will explain the fundamental concepts related to the realization of the green economy, which are based on the achievement of the "Net Zero" goals by the year 2050. As entrepreneurship results in innovation and sustainable economic and social development, the emphasis will be on entrepreneurship, which provides the basis for starting and maintaining a green economy by providing green products and services, introducing more environmentally friendly production techniques, increasing the demand for green products and services, and creating green jobs. In this sense, the basics of the current legal framework for creating such a green economy will be presented.
