Abstract

The Blue Economy, the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic development while at the same time protecting the marine ecosystem, depends on the integration of green human resource management into the global political dynamics. This paper reviews how merging green human resource management methods, such as environmentally friendly performance management, sustainable hiring practices, and green training programs, with international political policies might further solidify the groundwork toward sustainable development. The Blue Economy has the twin objectives of financial benefit and environment protection, necessitating a multi-pronged approach where Green HRM aligns business with environmental imperatives. Green HRM shapes an eco-sensitive workforce to enhance firm sustainability and contribute to global efforts in saving the environment. The essay, therefore, underlines the need for international cooperation, harmony of regulations in finding solutions to such global challenges as overfishing, climate change, and marine pollution. It makes a case for a need for harmonized policies and common best practices among states. Secondly, it is the integration of sustainability practices and technical advancement of technology in the maritime industry being driven by an innovative workforce that gets its boost from Green HRM. The essay shows how strategic alignment between Green HRM and political dynamics can result in considerable development in the Blue Economy, which is evidenced through research and case studies of Norway and Japan. Powerful environmental legislation and technological innovation can act as drivers in achieving sustainability goals, which are captured in initiatives such as Japan's green technology and Norway's commitment to the cause of sustainable ocean management. These results draw attention to the need for a joint international response to overcome regulatory barriers related to realizing a sustainable blue economy. The paper indicates the requirement of harmonized approach to develop Blue Economy through the synergy of Green HRM and political strategy and makes some recommendations of future approaches for strengthening international relationship and building forums for international discourse.
