Abstract: This paper examines ecopreneurship and green product initiative as an agenda for sustainable development in Nigeria. It explains the exclusive roles of ecopreneurship and green product initiatives in the rising trend of green economy in the current global market. The paper documents the numerous benefits associated with eco-entrepreneurship and how these benefits can translate to anticipated sustainable development. It also explains the multi-level intersection of eco-entrepreneurship and green product initiatives within the context of sustainable development. Theoretically, the paper adopts Schumpeter’s theory of entrepreneurship and ecological modernization theory as a development framework to underline the importance of ecopreneurship and green product initiatives in the context of sustainable development. The paper is exploratory with the use of secondary data sourced from current and relevant academic publications and reports. Findings from the paper serve as indicators and pointers to government, researchers, academicians and other stakeholders to promote, engage and invest in ecopreneurship and green product initiatives as the lens to locate the path to a more sustainable future.
