Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The global climate, environmental and energy crisis has contributed to the search for new concepts of social and economic growth aimed at urban and rural sustainable energy. Sustainable energy is a process of sustainable development and secure and efficient energy provision. Sustainability means guaranteeing access to energy with intergenerational equity. 

One of the right directions for building sustainable energy is to 'green' it by supporting investments for environmental protection and responsible use of energy resources. A special role is assigned to renewable energy sources. The acquisition and use of energy is an essential component of sustainable development. It is particularly important for the efficient supply and use of energy and for the allocation of capital for investment in individual energy technologies.

The concept of the green economy was created as an outgrowth of the idea of sustainable energy development and its task to solve environmental problems: reducing the consumption of natural resources, producing less waste, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and unconventional energy extraction while ensuring security in three dimensions: social, economic and environmental. 

In the environmental dimension, an efficient energy system improves the quality of life as it indirectly shapes feelings of security and social exclusion through the availability and quality of energy.  

The economic dimension is related to energy availability and quality as well as energy efficiency. The development of energy and services at the local level is a factor in increasing productivity and competitiveness while at the same time impacting jobs and workers' productivity and incomes.  

The environmental dimension relates to the pressure on the environment as a result of energy production, distribution and use. Greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector cause climate change to a large extent. At the same time, energy development affects the transformation of space and landscape. 

This Special Issue aims to present the directions of sustainable energy development and the principles of the green economy and to present the essence and stages of the transition from a brown economy to a sustainable energy, green economy as a model of sustainable development. Furthermore, we aim to identify environmental, social and economic indicators for assessing the degree of implementation of green economy principles and sustainable energy.

The implementation of the green economy requires the creation of an evaluation system to determine the degree of compliance of economic activities with the principles of the green economy and sustainable energy both at the level of a single state and at the regional as well as local level.

Energy is a key driver of all modern economies. Sustainable development is playing an increasingly important role both at regional and local levels. It is a compromise between social and economic needs and the preservation of nature. In the policy of the European Union, the idea of sustainable development and environmental protection is of decisive importance for the implemented programs and economic activities. Contemporary challenges require the transformation of the energy market towards greater use of renewable sources. According to Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and European Council on promoting energy from renewable sources, Poland has committed itself to achieving a 23% share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption by 2030. This goal considers total energy consumption in terms of power, engineering, heating, refrigeration, and transport. The aim of this paper was, firstly, an analysis of the share of renewable energy in the European Union over an 18-year period (2004–2021), with particular emphasis on the position of Poland. The second objective was the analysis of renewable energy at the local level in Poland, i.e., at the local government unit (LAU) level. Changes in the share of renewable energy in Poland compared to other European countries were also examined. The study utilized functional analysis of principal components and cluster analysis based on the data from the Central Statistical Office and EUROSTAT. The study found that while Poland does not differ significantly from other countries in using renewable energy, it does fall below the European average. Principal component analysis suggests that Poland responds adequately to European changes in the share of renewable energy in total energy consumption. This dynamic is stable (over 95% explained by the first component) and applies to most countries surveyed. In addition, the authors sought to answer questions relating to the current status of renewable energy sources in Poland, the barriers and challenges facing the introduction of renewable energy in the country, a comparative analysis of Poland’s progress in renewable energy with other global counterparts, and an exploration of the future prospects and potential for the development of renewable energy in Poland. The study found that the potential for renewable energy is greatest in the northern areas of Poland, with photovoltaics and wind power plants providing the greatest capacity. Poland’s renewable energy potential is very high and will be determined by technological development, political, economic, and social issues. Full article
