We systematised and considered the directions of international experience in clean energy transition for the decarbonisation of the economy, demonstrated by the countries that are leaders in sustainable development. We showed that the described directions of the energy transition directly influence the reduction of CO2 emissions, and the implementation of prospects for their improvement will allow acceleration of the achievement of goals envisaged by the Decade of Action. We revealed that in the case of Sweden, the international experience is characterised by rapid development compared to world indicators. The prospects for the implementation of directions for energy transition could be implemented at the level of countries that have specific features and characteristics and are aimed at the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The scientific novelty of this research lies in the improvement of the directions for the energy transition, connected with the prospects for the innovative management of this process.
