This article analyzes the experience of the Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland) as global leaders in sustainable development and the transition to a green economy. Key areas of regional transformation are examined: the large-scale implementation of renewable energy sources, the total electrification of transport, and the implementation of a circular economy model (recycling). Particular attention is paid to the "green social contract"—a unique combination of government regulation, environmental taxes, and public consensus. The article argues that the Scandinavian model demonstrates the possibility of a harmonious coexistence of economic growth and environmental responsibility, offering effective strategies for the global energy transition.
