Environmental issues are threatening the growth and the stability of the manufacturing, farming, marketing, and shipping sectors, as well as countless other business sectors. To address these threats supply chain management, pollution prevention studies, and green entrepreneurship initiatives are needed to enhance the country’s economy.

On the other hand, innovative systems and new technologies are emerging to help mitigate pollution, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and limit our overall impact on the environment, as well as create new markets, growth potential, and sustainable business.

Moreover, climate change now has become one of the most important issues across the world, and different governments are signing international agreements to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions by 80% from 1990 levels by 2050.
