The green economy offers an appealing framework for sustaining economic growth without environmental degradation, promising resource-efficient, low-carbon, less environmentally harmful, and socially inclusive societies. Over the past fifteen years, the concept of transitioning to a "green" economy as a means to align economic, environmental, and social objectives has gained traction among diverse policy organizations and has been integrated into national and global policy agendas. However, academic research has yet to provide a systematic and thorough evaluation of the evidence for this transition. This article establishes the initial structural components of a theoretical, empirical, and methodological framework to assess the transition to a green economy. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, it identifies four key dimensions of the green economy: market transformations, political governance, individual environmental values and attitudes, and private-sector environmental governance.
