Abstract
Innovation dynamics are crucial for achieving sustainable development and, from this perspective, innovation systems and green entrepreneurship are important, as is the institutional framework of economic policy. Resource-saving technological progress and progress in the field of energy efficiency are key challenges. The latter refers to the global warming problem. That such a problem exists can hardly be questioned. Between 1880 and 2010, the global mean temperate increased and greenhouse gas emissions have contributed to this.
