In this study, firstly, the theoretical infrastructure and current status of environmental problems are discussed, afterwards the instruments of fiscal policy that can be used to solve these problems are examined and solution proposals are introduced. Particularly in international organizations such as the United Nations, there are important responsibilities and duties in the determination of environmental policies and in the resolution of environmental problems. Considering this thought, in this paper "green economy" subject, reduces the ecological and environmental risks to a considerable extent, but as a concept that improves social equality and human well-being, it can be used not only as an environment but also as an effective tool for achieving economic development.
