Abstract
The article deals with the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of international cooperation in the development of the green economy, with a focus on the experience of the EU countries. It is argued the necessity of the green economy as a new development model that combines economic growth with addressing environmental issues. The role of international agreements (UN Agenda 2030, Paris Agreement) and organizations (UNEP, OECD, etc.) in promoting sustainable development and green growth principles is analyzed. The EU is shown to be a leader of the green transition, having integrated sustainable development goals into its policies and achieved significant results in decarbonization and resource efficiency. A comparative statistical analysis of green economy indicators in EU countries is presented: global environmental performance and green growth indices demonstrate the leading positions of many European states, as well as intra-European disparities. The article includes a table of Green Transition Index results, reflecting the successes of Scandinavian and Western European countries and the lag of some southern EU members. It concludes that international cooperation - from global climate agreements to regional integration - plays a key role in advancing the green economy, enabling the pooling of resources, technologies, and efforts to achieve global environmental goals.
