Abstract
The crises that threaten countries and human societies are the limited resources of non-renewable (fossil) energy sources and the increasing environmental pollution caused by the excessive consumption of fossil fuels, which are necessary for paying attention to energy resources. The close relationship between economic and environmental issues has led to the emergence of new approaches in international environmental law, one of the most important of which is the green economy. Since one of the most important goals of the green economy is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy sources are a shortcut to the green economy. In this regard, the primary purpose of this chapter is to compare the impact of renewable energy on the green economy in selected middle-income and high-income countries.
