Green growth dimensions, the energy trilemma, and accomplishing sustainable development goals have recently emerged as crucial topics in modern economics. This article examines the significance of green growth dimensions and the energy trilemma for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs), as well as the effectiveness of the measures of green growth and the green energy transition in the G7 and E7 economies. The research was conducted by employing a range of methodological assessment instruments. This study contributes to our existing knowledge by highlighting the importance of green growth dimensions, the energy trilemma, and SDGs by exploring the interlinkages among the crucial indicators in the G7 and E7 economies. The results could be of assistance to policymakers, governments, and legislators. The diversity in rating positions between significant variables is the basis for the future approval of green and energy policies in G7 and E7 economies. (original abstract)

Wymiary zielonego wzrostu, trylemat energetyczny i osiąganie celów zrównoważonego rozwoju stały się ostatnio kluczowymi tematami współczesnej ekonomii. W artykule zbadano znaczenie wymiarów zielonego wzrostu i trylematu energetycznego dla osiągnięcia celów zrównoważonego rozwoju (SDGs), a także skuteczność miar zielonego wzrostu i przejścia na zieloną energię w gospodarkach G7 i E7. W badaniu wykorzystano szereg metodologicznych narzędzi oceny. Niniejsze badanie wnosi wkład w naszą obecną wiedzę, podkreślając znaczenie wymiarów zielonego wzrostu, trylematu dotyczącego energii i celów zrównoważonego rozwoju poprzez badanie wzajemnych powiązań między kluczowymi wskaźnikami w gospodarkach G7 i E7. Wyniki mogą być pomocne dla decydentów, rządów i prawodawców. Różnorodność stanowisk ratingowych pomiędzy istotnymi zmiennymi stanowi podstawę przyszłego zatwierdzania polityk ekologicznych i energetycznych w gospodarkach G7 i E7. (abstrakt oryginalny)
