Integrating Social Resilience into the Green Competitiveness Assessment System

Abstract

The article examines contemporary approaches to the assessment of green competitiveness and provides their systematic typology. The study identifies key limitations of existing methodologies, which are primarily related to the insufficient consideration of the social dimension within sustainability assessment frameworks. In response to these gaps, the research substantiates the necessity of integrating social resilience as a critical component of evaluating green competitiveness. Social resilience is interpreted as the capacity of socio-economic systems to adapt to structural changes, withstand external shocks, and ensure the continuity of development processes under conditions of uncertainty. An integrated methodological approach to the assessment of green competitiveness is proposed, which is based on the combination of environmental, economic, and social indicators. The novelty of the approach lies in the выделение social resilience as a distinct analytical block, which allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of the sustainability and adaptability of national economies. The study also emphasizes that green transformation processes cannot be considered effective without the presence of strong social foundations, including institutional trust, human capital development, and access to essential services. The findings indicate that countries with higher levels of social resilience demonstrate more stable and sustainable progress in implementing green transformation strategies. This highlights the importance of incorporating social factors into the assessment frameworks of green competitiveness. The practical significance of the proposed approach lies in its applicability for policy-making, strategic planning, and international comparative analysis. The results can be used by governmental institutions, international organizations, and analytical centers to design effective policies aimed at enhancing sustainable development and strengthening the adaptive capacity of socio-economic systems.
