Sustainability is a key goal of the European Union, which is seen as a global leader of change in tackling climate change, as well as building green economic sustainability, leading to greater social prosperity. A milestone of sustainable development to support the European Union in achieving climate neutrality is the European Green Deal. Its initiatives aim to build a competitive and innovative EU economy while respecting and protecting the environment. According to current priorities, the European Union aims to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, thanks to critical raw materials. The purpose of this article is to analyse and assess the impact of critical raw materials on the sustainability of the European Union. The study uses a scoping review methodology and statistical analysis based on the Shapiro-Wilk test and Spearman correlation coefficient. The results show that critical raw materials are important for achieving sustainable development and implementing the EU economy towards climate neutrality. This paper contributes to the literature on sustainability. It can also provide important information for policymakers to understand how to shape green policies in the context of the strategic importance of critical raw materials in the transformation of an eco-innovative economy.

Zrównoważony rozwój jest kluczowym celem Unii Europejskiej, która jest postrzegana jako globalny lider zmian w zakresie przeciwdziałania zmianom klimatu, a także budowania ekologicznej równowagi gospodarczej prowadzącej do większego dobrobytu społecznego. Kamieniem milowym zrównoważonego rozwoju, który ma wesprzeć Unię Europejską w osią-gnięciu neutralności klimatycznej, jest Europejski Zielony Ład. Inicjatywy podejmowane w ramach Europejskiego Zielonego Ładu mają na celu budowanie konkurencyjnej i innowacyjnej gospodarki UE z poszanowaniem środowiska naturalnego. Zgodnie z założeniami Europejskiego Zielonego Ładu, Unia Europejska do 2050 roku ma stać się pierwszym kontynentem neutralnym klimatycznie dzięki krytycznym surowcom mineralnym. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza i ocena wpływu krytycznych surowców mineralnych na zrównoważony rozwój Unii Europejskiej. W badaniu wykorzystano metodologię przeglądu zakresu i analizę statystyczną opartą na teście Shapiro-Wilka i współczynniku korelacji Spearmana. Wyniki pokazują, że surowce kry-tyczne są ważne dla osiągnięcia zrównoważonego rozwoju i wdrożenia gospodarki UE w kierunku neutralności klimatycznej. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi wkład do literatury na temat zrównoważonego rozwoju. Może również dostarczyć ważnych informacji dla decydentów politycznych, aby zrozumieć, jak kształtować zieloną politykę w kontekście strategicznego znaczenia surowców krytycznych w transformacji ekoinnowacyjnej gospodarki.
