There is no uniform definition of the green economy.12 In this report, the green economy refers to commercial solutions with a clear environmental purpose or solutions that are a direct response to environmental challenges. This covers both mitigation and adaptation and resilience, from advanced clean technologies to nascent agri-tech solutions. Examples include renewable energy, electric vehicles, low-carbon food products, climate-resilient construction materials, textile recycling, green finance, carbon-measurement tech and services, and more. This market landscape definition covers seven major industry segments in mitigation (see Table 1) and seven impact themes in adaptation and resilience (see Table 2), which further divide into ~100 subsegments. Note: 1. EMS = energy management system.
