Over the past decade, environmental concerns have shifted from the periphery to the forefront of global priorities, with millions now engaged in climate activism and sustainable living. The urgent need to address the climate crisis has sparked the rise of green social enterprises—mission-driven organizations focused on creating eco-friendly products, services, and campaigns to combat environmental damage. These enterprises play a critical role in driving change, especially in the face of slow government action and ongoing reliance on fossil fuels. By offering innovative solutions and raising awareness, green social enterprises provide hope and tangible impact in the fight against climate change, showing that individual and collective efforts can indeed make a difference.
