The research demonstrates that both Hungary and Poland embrace green economic principles within their regional planning but differences appear in regional capabilities regarding coordination and strategic implementation abilities. Strategic planning must aim at EU resource targets while being inclusive based on literature recommendations about multi-level governance systems. Regional sustainability over long periods depends on policy integration and stakeholder participation for sustainable outcome achievement. It is important for future studies to analyze green cluster model scalability prospects across Central and Eastern European regions.
