New digital tools have the potential to accelerate the transformation of economies and societies towards a more inclusive and resilient future. In the case of the European Union, the European Green Deal aims to transform Europe into the first climate neutral continent. It focuses on a variety of areas of interest: climate, energy, environment and oceans, transport, industry, and R&I, among others. On the other hand, the EU Blue Economy Observatory focuses on seas, oceans and coasts, and studies the economic activities linked to them. Research on blue economy and green economy can provide valuable knowledge and insights about how countries and companies can create new business opportunities, jobs and economic growth.
Securing Sustainable Futures Through Blue and Green Economies discusses innovative approaches and views, exploring simultaneously how blue economy’s policies and strategies, green economy’s actions and priorities, and digital transformation can successfully pave the road towards more inclusive and digital societies. Additionally, it seeks to foster dialogue and research about national priorities and strategies, share knowledge about latest research in these fields, and foster scientific collaboration among different stakeholders, including industry, policy, and civil society. Covering topics such as corporate social responsibility, the labor market, and population growth, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, scholars, academicians, professionals, and more.
