The green economy is defined as economy that aims at reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities, and that aims for sustainable development without degrading the environment. It is closely related with ecological economics, but has a more politically applied focus. As the world goes madly behind economic development it fails to notice the harm done to environment by the development activities. As it is true that the need for economic development is undeniable it is also true that if we continue the development without concerning the environment the result will be rather harmful. Bangladesh is endowed with a unique natural resource base. About 80% of the country consists of floodplains and wetlands with over 300 rivers in the riverine network that sustains rare wildlife, flora and fauna and distinctive but diverse ecological systems across the country. These systems range from the unique mangrove forests of the Sundarbans in the Southwest (a world heritage) to coastal and marine ecosystems in the deep South deep natural water basins called haors and baors in the Northeast which remain inundated for half of the year and has a unique but changing ecology arid area in the upper mid-section to hill tracts in the Southeast and flat sandy or marshy riverine deltas in the middle down to South.
