Contributions of Green Entrepreneurs to Green Economy and Problems They Face in Global Climate Change

The aim of this research is to determine the difficulties encountered by green entrepreneurs who contribute to the green economy while carrying out their activities, and to contribute to the literature and young entrepreneurs from the success stories of these entrepreneurs. The “interview technique”, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. In the study, interviews were conducted with 12 entrepreneurs who carry out entrepreneurial activities in the Southeastern Anatolia Region. The research data were analyzed with the Maxqda 2024 program and the problems encountered by the interview participants in green entrepreneurship were examined with the word cloud. According to the results of the research, it was stated that entrepreneurship in Turkey needs to be supported by the state, green entrepreneurs and large-scale entrepreneurs earn. It was reported that the state planned production to prevent surplus production, that the support of small-scale entrepreneurs was very little, and that the earnings of those who sell quality products increased.
