Abstract
In the face of escalating environmental challenges and the imperative to combat climate change, the global community is increasingly turning its attention to sustainable and resilient industrial development. This chapter delves into the notion of “Green Industrial Policy” and their pivotal role in fostering sustainability and resilience in the industrial sector. It examines the multifaceted dimensions of these policies and their potential to mitigate environmental problems and enhance economic and social well-being. By aligning economic development with environmental and societal well-being, these policies have the potential to shape a future where the economy not only thrives but also contributes significantly to the global effort to combat climate change and secure a more sustainable and resilient world.
