| Abstract | This article comprehensively explores the critical role of "green" energy within the broader framework of the circular economy, especially in the context of increasing global uncertainty, economic instability, and ecological degradation. The relevance of this topic is underscored by the pressing global challenges of climate change, resource scarcity, and environmental pollution, all of which require a fundamental shift toward sustainable energy systems that rely on renewable sources and closed-loop resource flows. The article investigates the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of the circular economy, emphasizing its focus on reducing raw material extraction, reusing existing products, and recycling waste into productive inputs. It highlights the synergistic relationship between green energy and the circular economy, whereby the adoption of renewable technologies supports sustainable production models, encourages eco-innovation, and drives green investment. Additionally, the paper examines successful international case studies that demonstrate the implementation of the 3R principles – Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle – as core strategies for reducing environmental impact and enhancing resource efficiency. These examples serve as a roadmap for integrating green energy into national and regional sustainability agendas. Moreover, the article discusses policy mechanisms and economic incentives – such as subsidies for renewable energy, carbon taxation, and public-private partnerships – that facilitate the transition toward a circular, green economy. It also evaluates the role of technological innovation, digitalization, and education in enabling societies to adopt environmentally responsible behaviors and energy-saving practices. In conclusion, the transition to green energy within the circular economy framework is not merely an environmental imperative, but also a socioeconomic opportunity. It can catalyze the creation of high-quality jobs in the renewable sector, improve public health by reducing air and water pollution, and enhance the overall competitiveness and resilience of national economies. By embracing circularity and investing in green technologies, countries can build a low-carbon future that ensures prosperity, equity, and environmental integrity for current and future generations | ||
