Green Economy, TOPSIS, Green Index, Iran, OECD Asian CountriesAbstract
In this study, we tried to calculate Iran’s green growth index and compare it with four selected OECD countries in
the continent of Asia, Turkey, Japan, Korea, and Israel in 2015 by applying the Green Index, and Technique for Order
of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution. Our research provides a new methodology to rank different countries
based on green growth indicators. Applying both methods, Iran ranked fourth among the selected countries. Iran, in
comparison to Turkey, Japan, and Korea, is behind in developing sustainability and green economy indices.
