Ecological modernization is a school of thought in the social sciences that argues that both the state and the market can work together to protect the environment.^[1] It has gained increasing attention among scholars and policymakers in the last several decades internationally. It is an analytical approach as well as a policy strategy and environmental discourse (Hajer, 1995).
