The purpose of the research is to perform a simple indexation to measure the green economy and examine how dynamically the transition to a green economy is being implemented across the country.
The methodology of the research includes indexation by mutual synthesis of 5 methods: the share of renewable energy in the country's energy infrastructure, the level of implementation of domestic and foreign environmental programs by the government, the amount of annual carbon dioxide emissions in the country, the level of sustainability in agriculture, and the circularity of the economy.
The practical importance of the research includes the assessment of more complex indexing previously proposed by other economic circles and institutions with simpler and more accessible information resources.
The results of the research include, first of all, an assessment of Azerbaijan's transition to a green economy in comparison with neighboring countries and proposals for eliminating gaps.
The originality and scientific novelty of the research lies in the application of a newer and simpler approach compared to existing indices in this field, as well as the availability of the necessary information for compiling the index.
