Diffusion process of eco-innovation in local government

Małgorzata Pol Małgorzata Rutkowska Jerzy Tutaj

Abstrak

The purpose of this article is to examine the diffusion of eco-innovations in selected local government units. A qualitative approach was applied, using case studies to analyse local revitalisation efforts and pro-environmental initiatives. Findings show that such activities measurably improve residents’ quality of life and environmental conditions. Despite these benefits, progress is often hindered by rigid legal frameworks. Practical implications include recommending the enhancement of current strategies by integrating technologies such as solar energy and developing local sustainability indicators. Socially, local initiatives foster community engagement and environmental awareness. The originality of this study lies in its focus on eco-innovation diffusion driven by local governments, rather than the business sector. The article highlights the value of empowering municipalities to act as key agents of sustainable development.
