Purpose: This article attempts to understand that the progress of the scholarship on sustainable governance requires the injection of green policies into the administrative systems of the public realm for more development- inclusiveness and resiliency in an international environment. Design/Methodology/ Approach: This research uses secondary data analysis mainly obtained from journal articles, international organization reports, and policy documents. Content analysis such as thematic analysis, and when backed by tools such as NVivo, reveal patterns, areas of concern, and opportunities for change. Some of the operational theories adopted in the study include the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Environmental Governance Model. Stakeholders include federal and state ministries, NGOs, companies, civil society organizations, and local populations. Findings: Fundamental findings stress the critical meaning of green governance, comprising environmental policies, tax credits for renewable energy, and increased sustainability investments. Research Limitation: This paper offers prescriptive evidence for policymakers on how to involve the stakeholders and how to collectively develop solutions to the current socio-economic and ecological issues. Managerial Implications: Thus, the research helps to expand the existing knowledge base by presenting a conceptual framework for the integration of green policies into governance systems. It also focuses on the shared responsibilities for governing, the role of technologies and evolutionary policy frameworks. Originality/Value: Thus, the practical implications of connections made between theory and problem-solving enable this research to provide a navigation guide for principles of fair and sustainable governance in an increasingly globalized and unpredictable context.
