Nowadays, different policies are havinggreen features. Literarily, the green policy generally denotes theenvironmental policy, but other policies related to the environment may alsobe green focusing on environmental issues.

TheGovernment of Bangladesh (GoB) has formulated Industrial Policy 2016which has been embedded with several targets conducive to green growthand sustainable development goals (SDGs).
