The green economy is presented as an economic model of sustainable development that responds to the global challenges of the 21st century, including climate change, water resource scarcity, and ecosystem degradation.<\/p>\n<p>The authors note that the concept of the green economy is still in the process of formation and is interpreted differently across scientific and political circles. The text examines the main sectors of the green economy, including renewable energy, environmentally friendly buildings, transportation, water and waste management, and sustainable land use. Based on documents from the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, the article outlines the ecological, social, and economic characteristics of the green economy, which include resource and energy efficiency, biodiversity protection, social justice, and the development of innovative technologies.<\/p>\n<p>The article also presents a generalized list of the core principles of the green economy, derived from approaches developed by international organizations. These principles include promoting sustainable development, creating decent jobs, respecting ecological boundaries, measuring progress through indicators, and strengthening democratic governance.<\/p>\n<p>The research section of the article analyzes green economy awareness based on a survey of more than 100 respondents. Participants included students from various regional higher education institutions, as well as representatives from the public and private sectors and academic circles. The aim of the study was to assess the level of public awareness and perception of the green economy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>:\u00a0 Green Economy; Sustainable Development; Environmental Policy; Renewable Energy; Public Awareness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JEL:<\/strong>\u00a0 Q56; Q01; Q58<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOI: <\/strong>10.52244\/c2025.30<\/p>\n<p><strong>The article is in Georgian.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Georgescu-Roegen, N.
