Sustainable activities have a wide variety of beneficial effects on the economy that go beyond short-term financial concerns. Actions that prioritize meeting current demands without jeopardizing the capacity of future generations to fulfill their own are considered sustainable. The economic impact can be analyzed on a microeconomic and macroeconomic level. Companies adopt new business models and business practices. National economies increase competitiveness through the creation of new products and services, new green jobs and by creating regulations that will enable the successful implementation of sustainable actions. Of course, sustainable actions bring with them additional challenges in the form of additional costs, adaptation of business and national policies and new risks.
