Summary/Abstract: Climate change and environmental pollution are an undeniable fact and the global community is making significant efforts to combat them. International binding treaties are adopted, requiring a number of changes in the fields of energy, transport, industry, but also in the consumption and everyday life of people. The most significant impact on Bulgaria has the package of policies adopted by the European Union, known as the Green Deal. The text discusses public attitudes in Bulgaria towards climate issues and the country‘s commitments, described as a green transition. Based on data from a nationally representative survey, some of the existing problems and points of tension in the country related to the changes imposed by the Green Deal are identified. It is concluded that only in recent months an opportunity to coordinate the positions of politicians and society appears towards implementing a smoother green transition, considering the consequences not only from ecology point of view, but also from that of the economy, the social sphere and security.
