Abstract

The article defines and analyzes the theoretical and practical aspects of the low-carbon transformation of the economy as a key element of sustainable development. The main strategies and methods of implementing the concepts of low-carbon development in the context of modern challenges related to climate change and economic sustainability are substantiated. It was determined that the low-carbon transformation of the economy requires a comprehensive approach that combines theoretical knowledge with practical measures to achieve sustainable and effective development, and the challenges and opportunities of the low-carbon transformation of the economy were analyzed. It has been proven that the correct implementation of renewable energy sources, energy efficiency and other sustainable technologies in various sectors will help achieve decarbonisation at the lowest possible costs. Recommendations for a successful low-carbon transformation of the economy have been developed.
