Green Economies

Overview

Near East Foundation’s green economy program helps to integrate environmentally friendly practices into businesses while ensuring the inclusion of traditionally marginalized groups. We are dedicated to fostering sustainable economic growth while prioritizing the well-being of people and the planet. 

NEF supports entrepreneurs with full-cycle training, mentorship, and access to funding opportunities and networks to kickstart and grow their sustainability-focused green businesses. With a focus on inclusivity, NEF engages women and young people to create and expand business solutions that tackle pressing local and global environmental challenges—accelerating the transition to a low-carbon and sustainable economy, safeguarding natural resources, and supporting climate adaptation and resilience-building—while generating profits and achieving commercial viability.
