The article is dedicated to the exploration of the concepts of sustainable development, “Green Economy,” “Smart Village,” “Smart City,” and Azerbaijan’s international cooperation in the energy sector. The authors present three primary issues underlying the concept of sustainable development in a thesis format. The article interprets the model of the “Green Economy” from a socio-economic perspective as a pathway to sustainable development, analyzing the prospects for transitioning to a green economy within the country. A notable focus is the examination of the term “Green Economy” as a theory that defines sustainable development through preventing environmental damage, protecting the environment, and ensuring the efficient use of energy and natural resources. The potential application of the “Smart Village” and “Smart City” concepts—already implemented in various countries within Azerbaijan’s liberated territories is also of scientific interest. Concrete plans for the restoration of these liberated areas, exemplified by the Karabakh and East Zangezur economic regions, are highlighted, representing an indicator of sustainable development potential in these regions. The official announcement of the establishment of a “net-zero emissions” zone in the liberated territories further underscores this commitment.
