The negative results of irrational human activity have been visible throughout the last decades in the environment. Air, water, and land pollution are significant variables of this equation and have a major share in climate change. To obtain control of the situation, Europe tried to take action by presenting new environmentally friendly plans, such as “The Green Deal Industrial Plan” or “Recovery Plan for Europe”. One of the greatest aims of our century is the transition to a Circular Economy and the abandonment of previous years’ practices. Also, digitalization is a significant parameter that is used to accelerate procedures, such as remote work, data exchange, automation, etc. The current survey deals with the case of Western Macedonia, Greece. The study case of Western Macedonia is quite important, as this region has been the major energy producer in Greece, and it is very interesting to examine the various social and economic changes that the circular economy and decarbonization will bring. The methodology that was followed for this survey was the Tollgate approach in combination with R programming for the statistical analysis. More specifically, the papers that were reviewed for this research were collected by digital libraries using the tollgate approach. This method uses specific characteristics that are valuable for the survey and then organizes the papers in specific categories. The final number of papers that were reviewed more closely was 50. Then, the collected data were analyzed using R programming. The results showed that the transition from a linear to a circular economy will have positive effects on many sectors and revealed a strong connection between the circular economy and climate, waste management, energy, and other sectors, such as the health sector. The review of these surveys contributes to understanding the situation in Western Macedonia, comparing it with other regions, and applying various measures that are suitable for this area. Consequently, all nations that wish for a greener future must create awareness regarding subjects such as environmental pollution, climate change, linear and circular economies, zero waste, decarbonization or abandonment of fossil fuels, transition to renewable energy sources, and digitalization.
