Filling a void in academic and policy-relevant literature on the
topic of the green economy in the Arabian Gulf, this edited volume
provides a multidisciplinary analysis of the key themes and
challenges relating to the green economy in the region, including
in the energy and water sectors and the urban environment, as well
as with respect to cross-cutting issues, such as labour,
intellectual property and South-South cooperation. Over the course
of the book, academics and practitioners from various fields
demonstrate why transitioning into a 'green economy' - a future
economy based on environmental sustainability, social equity and
improved well-being - is not an option but a necessity for the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) States. Through chapters covering key
economic sectors and cross-cutting issues, the book examines the
GCC states' quest to align their economies and economic development
with the imperatives of environmental sustainability and social
welfare, and proposes a way forward, based on lessons learned from
experiences in the region and beyond. This volume will be of great
relevance to scholars and policy makers with an interest in
environmental economics and policy.
