Abstract
The article identifies the key determinants of the green economy (institutional, technological, energy, economic, environmental) for the EAEU member states based on systematic analysis and econometric calculations. Data from 1990–2025 were used. Regression models, cluster analysis, radial diagrams, and thermal correlation maps have been constructed. It has been found that the Union states are at different stages of the green transition: Russia and Kazakhstan are characterized by high carbon intensity, Belarus has the best waste recycling rates, while Armenia and Kyrgyzstan stand out for their high share of renewable energy sources. The share of renewable energy and energy intensity in GDP accounts for 68% of the variation in CO2 emissions. It is proposed to harmonize the taxonomy of green projects and create a common market for carbon units.
Based on panel data for the EAEU member states for 2015-2025, the determinants of the green economy in agriculture were quantitatively assessed using regression modeling. It has been found that a decrease in the carbon intensity of production by 1 t of CO2 equivalent/1000 USD of added value increases the integrated sustainability index of the agro-industrial complex by 0.053 points, while an increase in subsidies for green agricultural technologies by 100 USD/ha raises it by 0.047 points. The largest contribution to the index's growth for 2021-2025 was made by technological reductions in carbon intensity (36%) and subsidies (28%). A significant differentiation of the EAEU member states in the level of agricultural sustainability has been identified.

The European Green Deal is the European Union's central framework for linking climate action with longterm economic transformation. Introduced in 2019, it sets out to reshape the EU into a climate-neutral, resource-efficient, and more resilient economy by 2050. This paper examines how that agenda affects the EU economy, with particular attention to renewable energy, industry, agriculture, the circular economy, and pollution control (Fetting, 2020). The analysis uses academic studies together with official EU documents in order to interpret the economic changes associated with the Green Deal. The literature suggests that decarbonization depends heavily on cleaner energy systems and lower-emission production models, but also on substantial capital investment and institutional adjustment across multiple sectors .Overall, the Green Deal appears to create both economic promise and policy strain. It can stimulate innovation, support new employment opportunities, and strengthen competitiveness in emerging green industries, yet it also places pressure on traditional sectors, public budgets, energy prices, and labor-market adjustment processes.

Reducing carbon emissions has become a central objective of sustainable development policies as countries seek to address the environmental challenges associated with climate change and resource depletion. In this context, circular economy practices and energy transition policies have emerged as key mechanisms for achieving environmental sustainability. This study examines the determinants of carbon emissions within the framework of the circular economy and energy transition for selected Central and Eastern European countries (Romania, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Slovenia) over the period 2010–2024. Using panel data analysis, the study incorporates key variables including circular economy, economic growth, recycling, renewable energy consumption, and urbanization. To enhance the reliability of the empirical estimates, panel unit root tests, the Hausman specification test, fixed-effects estimation, and Driscoll–Kraay robust standard errors are employed to address heteroskedasticity, serial correlation, and cross-sectional dependence. The results indicate that improvements in circular economy practices together with greater renewable energy use are associated with lower carbon emissions, providing empirical support for the proposed hypotheses. Recycling activities are found to increase emissions in the short run, indicating energy-intensive processes. In contrast, the effects of economic growth and urbanization are found to be context-dependent, providing only partial support for the related hypotheses. Overall, the results highlight that carbon emission dynamics are shaped by a complex interaction of economic, structural, and environmental factors, and that policy effectiveness depends on country-specific conditions. By focusing on transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe, this study extends the existing literature through an integrated panel data analysis of circular economy and energy transition policies and offers policy-relevant evidence for the region.

This paper analyzes the critical role of renewable energy in the context of the global transition toward a sustainable development model, given that fossil fuels still account for 81% of global consumption, posing major climate risks. The study shows a positive trend at the European Union level, where clean energy sources reached a share of approximately 47% of electricity production in 2025, with the wind and solar sectors being the main pillars of this progress. Beyond environmental benefits, renewable energy projects are presented as essential economic drivers that stimulate innovation, create jobs, and strengthen energy independence. Particular attention is given to the management of these projects, an area marked by high complexity due to capital intensity and regulatory uncertainties. Modern management in this sector must be adaptive, integrating digitalization, risk analysis, and green financing mechanisms to ensure long-term viability. Finally, the analysis focuses on the Republic of Moldova, where, despite financial constraints and dependence on imports, alignment with the policies of the European Energy Community opens new prospects for investment. The success of these initiatives depends on managers' ability to balance technological efficiency with social acceptance and economic sustainability, thereby providing a clear path toward a resilient and competitive energy future.

The sharing economy (SECO) has become a disruptive economic model with implications for both economic performance and energy systems. This paper analyzes the relationships among SECO, GDP per capita, and nuclear energy consumption (NEC) in China from 2005 to 2020. The analysis addresses heterogeneous associations among various points of the conditional distribution by using a quantile autoregressive distributed lag (QARDL) framework. The findings show that SECO correlates positively with GDP per capita across most quantiles, suggesting that it contributes to improving economic activity by better resource use and the adoption of digital platforms. On the contrary, the dependency between SECO and NEC is observed to be strong only at the higher quantiles, indicating that its impact on energy dynamics is more significant under conditions of high energy demand. The results also indicate a high degree of heterogeneity and two-way predictive relationships among variables, suggesting the presence of dynamic feedback mechanisms rather than unidirectional influence. The results should be considered indicative associations rather than causal relationships, given the use of proxy measures, the small sample size, and the observational design. Overall, the research provides fine-tuning evidence on the context-specificity of the sharing economy in shaping economic and energy-related dynamics in China's changing development environment.

The economic dimension of sustainable development has become a central objective of European policies aimed at balancing economic prosperity, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. This study investigates the contribution of innovation and energy transition to the economic dimension of sustainable development in the European Union. Using a balanced panel dataset covering the 27 European Union Member States over the period 2010–2024, the effects of research and development expenditure, employment rate, energy productivity, and renewable energy share on GDP per capita, employed as a proxy for the economic dimension of sustainable development, are analysed using a two-step System Generalized Method of Moments (System GMM) estimator. The results indicate that employment and energy productivity have positive and statistically significant effects, whereas research and development expenditure and renewable energy share are not statistically significant. The findings suggest that labour market performance and efficient energy use contribute positively to the economic dimension of sustainable development, whereas the effects of innovation and renewable energy deployment may materialise only over longer time horizons. The study provides empirical evidence supporting integrated policies that strengthen economic competitiveness and long-term sustainability within the European Union.
