Today's economies are geared to a circular or circular model of a green economy based on strategic determinants of technological development, development of green construction and renewable energy sources and efficient electricity consumption. The green economy is important for economic growth, as it affects sustainable development, which is particularly important for eco-innovation and the efficient management of pollutants.
