The objective of this study is to analyze the main arguments in favor of a transition towards a green economy in Brazil, emphasizing the potential benefits at the three required levels: economic, social and environmental. The main point is to present the green economy as a possible path for economic development where social inclusion and environmental conservation act as engines (rather than obstacles) for higher levels of activity and welfare. This paper is divided in five sections. The first section introduces main aspects of the study. Second, we carry out the review of the literature and indicators on the Brazilian experience are selected. Third section is dedicated to the elaboration of an input-output model estimating the employment and wages effects of the expansion of selected sectors. Fourth section analyses selected sections in terms of green growth while the fifth last section poses some final remarks.
