In recent years, enhanced measures including legislation, policy, regulatory, and economic means have been taken by every country’s government in dealing with environmental problems [1]. Corresponding to this situation and in meeting the demand of governments at different levels for environmental policy tools, the environmental policy research projects on the topic of a wide range, especially concerning Nature conservation are conducted at the World [2][3] . The huge problem is how nowadays Economic growth influences Nature? Globally, the existing protected areas and Aichi Target 11 are not enough to slow the decline in biodiversity [4][5] . As a result, there is an urgent need to expand the nature conservation areas system [6][7] . Nowadays, we need to test how economic, social, energy and environmental indicators influence nature conservation and sustainable growth [8] [9]. Global civilization is falling social and economic turmoil.
Humans are experiencing environmental deterioration and uncontrollable declines in GDP [10] . Traditional economic theory has been continuously advancing yet seems unable to predict these crises or provide adequate public policies to address them [11] .
Nowadays essential not only maximize profit, and maintain the stability of the economy in order to preserve the Planet [12][13] . In light of the last crucial situation, including the emergence of viruses, humankind shows that if it does not start to think about how economy influence on Nature, the Planet would be destroyed [14] . Nowadays, it is necessary to find a new economy [15] and find new tools and new integrative methods that provide an opportunity to follow financial ratios and the new sustainable ratios with non-financial factors inside. The Economy needs new approaches based on green technologies, system sciences and sustainable methods. The Special Issue provide the platform for share the researches concerning green economy theory development emphasizing the transversally links between economic, social, energy and environmental factors [16] . Accordingly, it is necessary to develop systematic research towards sustainable growth [16] . There is no doubt that systemic thinking methods should be part of system economics theory for Nature conservation and sustainable growth. It is also the controversially question, how environmental factors, including virus spreading could influence business social responsibility and companies’ sustainable financial growth [17] . The above-mentioned position formulated in the materials of the G20 green finance research group in UN documents is similar, which emphasizes the need to introduce environmental and social impacts into the assessment of financial growth sustainability [18]
