BUILDING A CIRCULAR ECONOMY WITH THE AIM OF SUSTAINABLE GROWTH- GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AS A POTENTIAL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Authors: Dr Ana Lazarovska & Prof. Dr Verica Dancevska

ABSTRACT

Air traffic with a theoretical and practical perception of sight is in the phase of expansion with the need for reconstruction, reorganization and introduction of new modern technologies, is one of the basic factors for development in order to increase the potential and competitiveness of the state which depends on the transport economy and the overall sustainable development of air traffic. As an area of study of all segments of the economy, the meaning of its study is found, which is sustainability. The transport economy of air traffic at the state level with the positive effect of sustainable development, as well as in other countries in transition, lacks attention to all relevant factors that affect the development of air traffic and transport, and especially the airport infrastructure in need of research.

In this scientific research there are two primary objects of research: transport economics of air traffic and sustainable development with an emphasis on the state level in the Republic of Macedonia, so that the first object is placed in the function of sustainable development while the other object of research is the theory of equilibrium based on of the analysis of costs and benefits for an optimized solution.

The following fundamental scientific hypothesis is set: with the scientific factors for the transport economy of air traffic in function of sustainable development, for the assessment of the degree of development and success of aviation in the development of sports and school purposes in Macedonia, with the assessment of the degree of the relationship between the transport economy and sustainable development. The ultimate goal of this research is to contribute to the process of building and retrofitting all segments of aviation (airports, air traffic control and aviation companies) at the national and global level through the circular economy.

Why should you explore the circular economy?

  • The overall strategy to achieve net zero emissions by 2050
  • The crucial role of government and policy support
  • Effective implementation of sustainability measures
  • Financing the energy transition
  • Measuring, tracking and reporting emissions
  • Addressing non-CO2 emissions
  • The significance of value chains

Who will you meet?

  • Airlines
  • Airports
  • Solution providers
  • Policy-makers
  • Regulators
  • Banking and financial institutions
  • Researchers
  • Thought-leaders

There are the questions that this paper is going to find the answers.
