Abstract:
: Ecopreneurship is related to the economic concept of the common good, which refers to fostering and imparting the human values of dignity, solidarity, sustainability, social justice, democracy, and transparency. The economy of the common good has a broad scope and covers principles that concern not only people but also the environment. The goal is for the firm to conduct its business activities without negatively affecting people and the environment. The study aimed to explore the relationship between Ecopreneurship Implementation and Environmental Sustainability in Nigeria. Specifically, the environmental challenges confronting Nigeria and strategies for achieving success in ecopreneurship was examined. Ecological modernization theory propounded by Social scientists such as Martin Jänicke, Volker von Prittwitz, Udo Simonis in the 1980s was adopted. The study concludes that Ecopreneurship has helped to create an economically viable business as well as retain core environmental sustainability and social values. It was therefore recommended that Ecopreneurship has been articulated as an alternative for handling environmental challenges and degradations, therefore the government should encourage the ecopreneurs to takes up these challenges to maintain the ecological and environmental sustainability.
