circular economy, green transition, indicatorsAbstract
Global trends and the adverse events that accompany them have irreversible consequences not only for individuals but also for communities, societies, and, not least, for our planet. Several global trends can be highlighted, from the technological revolution to societal challenges and environmental change. The push for sustainability and environmental protection has gained unprecedented momentum and has led individuals, businesses, and governments to adopt environmentally friendly practices and policies. It is clear that the mankind can only improve their lives if they can simultaneously bring about positive change in the economy, society, and the environment, which interact with each other. The aim of this study is to examine where Hungary is on the path of circular economic transition and how far Hungarians have been able to engage with green trends.
