Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze and evaluate the level of eco-innovations in the European Union countries. For this purpose, a new method of multi-criteria analysis were used, i.e. PROTERRA method, which was developed by the authors of this article. Analysis concerns a data from the year 2015. There have been determined aggregate ratings, which characterized the eco-innovation level of particular European Union countries. Four classes of innovation level were defined: eco-innovation leaders, good eco-innovators, week eco-innovators and eco-innovation outsiders. Then, based on the calculated global ratings, European Union countries were assigned to the appropriate classes.
