Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of new green initiatives and encourage scientific and the general public to think about the necessary structural changes that will provide new green practices in the production and consumption through social innovation, as well as encourage policy makers in Croatia to practice green development. Results: This paper presents an overview of theoretical research and new global policies relating to green social innovation and circular economy. Furthermore, it presents the analysis of the situation in Croatia regarding green development. It indicates the lack of an integrated approach to the implementation of existing policy documents which hinders more recycling, less waste and the development of new green social innovations. Conclusions: The transition towards a circular economy and the emphasis on social innovation are two key initiatives in which the EU is a global leader in last few years (EC, 2011). Croatia, as EU member state, has an obligation with regard to all above listed policy frameworks, but lacks the knowledge and skills especially in the cross-sectoral coordination of activities required in existing strategic frameworks at the national level.
