A green economy specifically considers the welfare of the environment and is closely aligned with sustainable development—in both, the use of natural resources should be less than their natural production. In this article, the concept of a green economy is discussed from the viewpoint of water services, a crucial part of a sustainable society, with the objective of enhancing knowledge about sustainable and resilient water services that will meet society’s future demands. Drawing from a literature review and a stakeholder workshop attended by 68 experts, it seeks to answer three research questions: (a) What are appropriate and sustainable urban water supply and sanitation policies for a society that is adopting the basic principles of a green economy? (b) What should be the role of water supply and sanitation in a green and circular economy and what are the current challenges to meeting this objective? and (c) What actions are needed in the Finnish water and sanitation services (WSS) sector to effectively meet the requirements of a green and circular economy? The results are applied to the specific case of Finland, and recommendations and conclusions for the Finnish society and its water services are presented.

绿色经济社会中的供水和卫生:芬兰案例

绿色经济特别考虑环境福祉,并与可持续发展密切相关——在这两者中,自然资源的使用应少于其自然生产。在本文中,绿色经济的概念从供水服务的角度进行讨论,供水服务是可持续社会的重要组成部分,目的是增强对可持续和有弹性的供水服务的了解,以满足社会未来的需求。根据文献综述和由 68 位专家参加的利益相关者研讨会,它试图回答三个研究问题:(a) 对于一个采用绿色经济基本原则的社会来说,什么是适当和可持续的城市供水和卫生政策?(b) 供水和卫生设施在绿色和循环经济中应发挥什么作用,目前实现这一目标的挑战是什么?(c) 芬兰的水和卫生服务 (WSS) 部门需要采取哪些行动才能有效满足绿色和循环经济的要求?结果应用于芬兰的具体案例,并提出了对芬兰社会及其供水服务的建议和结论。
