Abstract
Green innovation and green entrepreneurship are pivotal in addressing Nigeria's pressing environmental challenges while fostering sustainable economic growth. As the country faces critical issues such as energy shortages, waste management, deforestation, and climate change, innovative solutions are emerging to mitigate environmental impact and promote sustainability. Green innovation in Nigeria encompasses advancements in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, waste management, water conservation, and carbon footprint reduction technologies, all of which are reshaping industries and contributing to more eco-friendly practices. Concurrently, green entrepreneurship is gaining momentum, with entrepreneurs developing environmentally conscious products and services that address these challenges while creating economic value. These entrepreneurial ventures are not only driving job creation in renewable energy, waste management, and sustainable agriculture but are also contributing to the growing green economy. Despite facing challenges such as limited access to finance, inadequate infrastructure, and a need for more robust policies, Nigeria's green innovation and entrepreneurship landscape shows immense potential for fostering a sustainable future. By supporting green businesses and technologies through policy frameworks, investment, and public awareness, Nigeria can pave the way toward a greener, more resilient economy that balances environmental stewardship with economic development.
