Albanian Green Economy Trends

In the 1991s, Albania entered a great political and economic transition, passing from the communist to the capitalist system. All resources in common use were usurped. The environment and its conservation were the least concern for Albania. Even now its environment faces several problems. Some of the key issues are pollution, waste disposal, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, etc. Our paper uses data generated by OECD stat and abundant literature. We have selected OECD Green Growth indicators for monitoring progress towards green growth in Albania as environmental and resource productivity, the environmental dimension of quality of life, economic opportunities and policy responses, and the socio-economic context. The data values collected vary from 1980 to 2021. We rely on Albania's performance over time of many green growth indicators. This will allow us to observe whether Albania is moving toward a green economy and policies. From the data presented we see that Albania has made some advancements toward green growth.
