        abstract = {The urgency of sustainable development has intensified due to climate change, rising greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity decline, and unequal access to natural resources. These interconnected challenges threaten both ecological stability and human well-being, prompting global efforts to adopt more inclusive and environmentally conscious development strategies.
Within this context, Green Centers serve as transformative platforms that bridge the gap between sustainability policies and their real-world implementation. Unlike centralized institutions, Green Centers operate at the community level, providing hands-on exposure to sustainability practices that individuals can immediately incorporate into their daily lives.
Green Centers offer experiential learning environments where people can interact with renewable energy devices, observe waste recycling processes, participate in water conservation programs, and learn about climate-resilient agriculture. The experiential nature of these centers helps demystify sustainability concepts and fosters behavioral shifts that contribute to long-term ecological balance.
Additionally, Green Centers promote social empowerment by offering training programs focused on green skills, sustainable livelihoods, and environmental stewardship. They enable local communities—including women, youth, farmers, and small entrepreneurs—to actively participate in the transition toward a low-carbon economy.
Thus, the introduction of Green Centers represents a practical and community-focused solution to contemporary environmental challenges while simultaneously contributing to broader development objectives.},
