Abstract

The article discusses the role of eco-innovations in sustainable development. The first part of the paper pertains to the essence and meaning of sustainable development, with a particular attention paid to the technical dimension. Then a qualitative model of eco-innovations, which are the main factor of green growth, is introduced. The last part of the article contains the analysis of the results of CIS 2008 survey in relation to the propensity and motivations to introduce the eco-innovations, as well as the benefits from the introduction of the eco-innovations in enterprises from EU countries.
