This paper examines the legal frameworks governing green Intellectual Property Rights, their role in promoting environmentally friendly technologies, and the balance between stimulating innovation and ensuring public access to green solutions and by analysing international agreements, national legislation and judicial precedents, this study evaluates the effectiveness of green IPRs in promoting sustainable development. In addition, it also examines challenges such as patent monopolies, technology transfer barriers and equitable access to green innovations, and provides insights into possible reforms for a more inclusive and environmentally conscious intellectual property regime. The paper concludes that a well-structured Green IPR framework can play a pivotal role in aligning economic growth with environmental sustainability.
