This report tries to focus on how the “governance” approach can enable “green economy” that develops along with change in the field of energy. As is known, governance approach emerged as a product of public administration paradigm starting to change at 1970s, and is specially emphasized by supranational organizations like The United Nations, The European Commission and The World Bank. This is because; the increasing energy demand leads the world to a new energy economy and the search for renewable energy sources. While financial policies are crucial for sustainable development, applicability and consistency of these policies can be succeeded by networks and tight relationships between the actors that governance has developed. Keywords:Green Economy, Governance, Sustainable Development, Global Warming and Climate Change, Carbon Tax.
