South Korea's Green New Deal
Originally proposed as a post-COVID-19 stimulus plan, the Green New Deal is a sustainability-centered strategy for building a low-carbon and climate-neutral economy. The Green New Deal sets out eight targets to be accomplished under three strategic areas: green urban development, low-carbon decentralized energy, and innovative green industry. The Deal also takes measures to protect the people and sectors at a higher risk of being left behind in the process of the economic transition. It is an upgraded version of the “Green Growth” national policy, with more emphasis on sustainability in addition to the growth aspect.

Some Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Technical Efficiency
Technical efficiency is, apart from allocative efficiency, a component of economic efficiency in the assessment of the activity of each enterprise or project. In the most general sense, it means the ratio of the output achieved to the inputs incurred to achieve it, and in the case of a multidimensional sum of outputs, to the sum of inputs. It describes how inputs are transformed into outputs or inputs into a sum of outputs.

Solutions Related to Wind Energy in EU Countries
Energy security in EU (European Union) countries has become a priority, especially after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. In addition to the EU becoming independent from oil and gas from Russia, another important factor influencing the development of alternative renewable energy sources is the increasingly visible climate change in the world and in Europe. One of the key actions that EU countries should undertake is the transition to a low-emission economy and the associated use of various renewable energy systems and placing these energy sources wherever the production of clean energy does not significantly change the landscape and society.
