Abstract

There are many concepts, terms or trends that are fundamental to everyday life. Today, the European Union is facing a double transition: digitalisation and greening. However, these two areas are of somewhat opposite interest: digitalisation is energy-intensive, while greening is based on sustainability and the circular economy (i.e. energy efficiency). Yet, it is necessary to use the potential of digital technologies, for example in agriculture, as it can bring many benefits. The paper aims to present a very timely and important issue from different angles. The research addresses the following research question: How can the circular economy contribute to a human-oriented economy in the EU and Hungary? In order to go deeper into the circular economy, the assessment of the state of the green transition and its context in the EU, it is first of all necessary to clarify the concept. In the following, the related objectives and key guiding documents of the EU are presented. In the second part of the paper, the national side of the issue is discussed, including state objectives, plans, programmes and the domestic institutional framework. The aim of the study is therefore to look at how technology can be used to create a more liveable world, by reviewing the current systems and restoring the balance in which people's interests have priority.
