Abstrakt
Today, sustainable energy is the centre of attention in climatic change agenda and economic growth, attracting concerns from around the globe about approaches of designing pathways for a sustainable transition of energy and energy transitions are being carried out with different processes. With respect to resources and technologies, different methods of energy production including geothermal energy, wind technology, electricity and salinity gradient technologies, and solar heating and cooling have been considered. Sustainable energy policies also contribute a significant part in energy transitions as they can act as the driving force behind innovations in renewable energy. Additionally, they are a prerequisite in assembling finance that is an essential factor in achieving climate goals. Thus, the use of policies and regulations can have a positive impact on the outcomes of sustainable energy in the long run. The aim of the paper is to assess the impact of renewable energy sources on employment in Slovakia and its sustainability. Results of the regression analysis showed that there is a strong correlation between the overall employment in Slovakia and the employment in Renewable energy sources in Slovakia (0.864).
