Environmental protection has increasingly adopted economic dimensions, and the environment is treated as
a “capital” that can be used for economic and social development. This capital must be preserved for future
generations, which is why increasing attention has been paid to taking pro-ecological actions to protect the
environment. In order to improve the quality of the environment, it is necessary to make various types of investments
in it. The Sustainable Development Initiative assumes that the economic growth of countries should be
implemented in a manner consistent with the natural conditions of nature. The aim of this study was to identify
and present the current possibilities of financing sustainability in Poland after joining the European Union,
taking into account the risk of undertaking such an investment.
