The research paper deals with the evolution of Green state. Traditionally state is understood in terms of territory, population and sovereignty. The politics of environmental crisis has diluted these elements of state as environmental problem is a transnational problem. Hence green state is a transnational state and its elements are also transnational. It is different from capitalist or Marxist state. For achieving the green state there is need to restructure the existing state in the green direction. Green state is a telescopic state which can see future generation. Green state is flexible, decentralized and centralized if necessary. It is a combination of direct participation and political participation. It is an enabling state and freedom oriented state. Green state advocates small nations and small units of population. It includes spiritual subjects. Green state consists of seven elements-ecology, social responsibility, grassroots democracy, non-violence, decentralization, green economy and green democracy. It believes in “Think globally and act locally”
