Abstract

Global economic activities have a significant impact on people's lives in many ways such as technological developments, better education and healthcare opportunities, increasing life expectancy and living standards, more job opportunities. Nonetheless, global economic growth leads to income and resource distribution inequalities and even environmental degradation and increased pollution. Global warming and climate change are believed to be one of the most critical problems that humanity needs to deal with in the twenty-first century
