Abstract: Abstract The emergence of a “green economy” is now one of the priorities of economic development. The use of digital technologies makes the transition to a “green economy” less expensive while increasing the efficiency of enterprises and companies that use them. The purpose of this study is to show the impact of digitalization on the transition to a “green economy”. To solve this problem, two main research methods were used. The first research method was a theoretical analysis of the impact of digital technologies on the transition to a “green” economy at various levels: on city and regional level, using the example of individual industries and enterprises. Among the main areas in which digital technologies are used are the transition to smart cities, the use of digital solutions for the transition to renewable energy sources, and the use of the Internet in agriculture, industry, and transport. As a second method for researching, a survey to gauge awareness among young people about the importance of the transition to a “green economy” and the problems associated with the transition to a “green economy”, as well as the impact of digital solutions on the transition to a green economy was done. The survey was conducted among Russian and Chinese university students.
