Abstract

Sustainable development, the basic social,
economic and ecological strategy of the late
20th century at the national and international
level, is gradually giving its place to green
growth. This change is associated with important
socioeconomic adjustments. We argue
that although green growth has moved away
from the one-dimensional concept of economic
growth, by incorporating the environmental
dimension, apart from the economic
one, at the same time it neglects the social
aspect that constitutes the third dimension
of sustainable development. Therefore, the
widely proposed in recent years green growth
strategy could be characterized as a major social
drawback.
