Abstract: The increasing world population has placed tremendous pressure on global production systems, which has created a disjoint between the production and sustainability related goals of this sector. Several studies have confirmed this notion via Environmental Kuznets Curve, but this study envisages proposing a possible solution. It is hypothesized that competitive supply chain ecosystems (cluster development & production process sophistication) could help in reducing growth based CO 2 emissions globally. An assessment of 135 countries between 2008 and 2018 is conducted. The estimates showed that the supply chain competitiveness has the potential in greenification of our production systems. Here indicators like value chain breadth and cluster development can reduce the CO 2 emissions at each production level. Further regions from the geographic map, like North America and Asia Pacific, can adopt a green supply chain from other regions.
