The report defines a green economy as one that improves human well-being and social equity while reducing environmental risks and pressures on natural resources. It traces the evolution of the concept from early 'steady-state' and 'degrowth' theories to modern 'green growth' strategies promoted by the OECD and EU. The document highlights that Estonia is among the most energy- and resource-intensive EU member states, characterized by high CO2 emissions per capita and a significant ecological footprint, despite having a higher share of renewable energy in its energy mix than the EU average. It argues that GDP is an insufficient measure of progress and advocates for indicators that account for natural, human, and social capital, such as the Happy Planet Index.
