The Impact of Economy and Ecology Integration on Employment in the Context of Sustainable Development Goals and European Green Deal

In addition to the impact of environmentally sensitive economic policies on the overall economy, the study discusses the employment implications of the green transformation process. The results obtained argue that meeting the unlimited needs of humanity with limited world resources is not sustainable with traditional economic methods and that governments and policymakers should take into account the ecological balance while designing economic policies. In addition, the effect of modern production processes that will replace traditional production models with green transformation on existing employment is analysed and arguments are presented that green transformation increases employment. The increase in production levels in parallel with the increasing population and urbanisation in the world creates a high level of pressure on the environment. The integration of economy and ecology should be ensured in order to use the existing limited world resources in a way that will be sufficient for future generations without destroying them. Ensuring economic sustainability is only possible with ecological balance. In this context, traditional production models should be abandoned and the requirements of environmentally sensitive economic models should be implemented. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations and the European Green Deal (EGD) presented by the European Union as the economic roadmap of green transformation support the integration of economy and ecology in line with common goals.
