Abstract: The challenges of sustainable development are well known: the full enjoyment of the earth's resources without compromising the welfare of future generations. It is to reconcile the three pillars on which the concept is based, namely: economic, social and environmental. Beyond that called sustainable development, the United Nations, in collaboration with other international organizations over the last ten years developing a new concept: the concept of green economy which is defined as "an economy that leads to improvement of human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and the lack of resources". In this paper, we support the idea that economic development policies should include the issue of the green economy represents a real opportunity for development and containment of poverty in the world in general and in Africa in particular.
