3. Conclusion
The world map contains about 200 states, only 89 countries (from 2011 to 2014 the number hasn’t changed)
take part and make direct transition to the “green” economy. As the majority of the countries that do not
participate in the UNEP project are either countries with insufficient territory or poorly developed African
countries, the overall transition to the “green” economy is performed at
high rates, in general. The important
thing is that 89 member countries account for about 70% of the world's territory and about 87% of global capital
and
natural resources, which are at the top of the issues.
An issue upon realization of complete and complex transition of all the "Big Twenty" countries to green
energy is negotiated as an outlook for the years of 2020-25 in regard to transition to the "green" economy.
According to some independent economists from different countries, the annual growth of environmental
technology in these countries will be about 30% from 2014 to 2025, which will be 5.5 - 6% of the
global GDP by
2025. This trend will certainly lead to the improvement of environmental and climatic conditions in some
regions. Therefore, the process of transition to the “green” economy will favorably influence
both health level of
any nation and increase of factors that promote development of social and economic prosperity and welfare of
society in general.
