A socio-economic dimension in the area of regional policy in Slovakia is characterized by a strong influence of European Union`s regional policy. The self-governing regions, which should be strong elements of regional policy, face the challenge of making objective social policy based on group of indicators in the context of current quality of life and historical model of social policy. Necessary prerequisite is to know what influences the social milieu. Latest OECD indicators seem to be most acceptable within the diagnostics of regional socio-economic realia.

The present period is characterized by a rapid development of ICT. The possibilities of using internet represent newer ways of communicating with many people, regardless of the distance. The development and the use of new technologies open up many possibilities for communication and education. The capability of using ICT, to teach pre-recorded principles, and to develop key competences of students has become one of the very important tasks of contemporary schools, both on the teachers’ and student’s side. One alternative is online courses

Research background: The production and use of energy satisfies human needs, but also gives rise to a host of adverse environmental pressures, such as air pollution and waste generation. The issue of energy efficiency and climate chance resonates in the energy sector as one of the main producers of green-house gas emissions (GHG). While the European Union in general is doing well in reducing emissions and increasing the share of renewables, unfortunately, there are countries that are still far from reaching their goal. Purpose of the article: The paper is focused on the quantitative assessment of the link between the economic growth of the energy sector and the production of GHG emissions by the energy sector in V4 countries during the period 1995?2016. For this purpose, decoupling analysis will be realized. Methods: The decoupling of economic growth and the environmental pressures caused by this growth has a rich tradition within the sustainable development literature. The decoupling method was chosen for its ability to link economic and environmental indicators. Decoupling elasticity will be calculated with the aim of assessing the relationship between the economic growth of the energy sector (measured in GVA) and GHG emissions produced by the energy sector in V4 countries within the research period. Decoupling elasticity indicates different forms of the decoupling and coupling of the two variables. Findings & Value added: The results of the analysis suggest the prevailing strong decoupling of the economic growth of the energy sector and GHG emissions produced by the energy sector, which can be considered a positive trend. The findings of this paper are relevant for the government, state and public institutions and stakeholders in general, who play important roles in the preparation of programs, projects and policies to make energy generation, transport and use more efficient and environmentally sustainable.
