Development of green economy: the main aspects and prospects

Abstract

Introduction. The article examines the directions and principles of functioning of “green” economy as the basis for further development of society. Given the trend towards the availability of "green" technologies, cost curves not only for existing renewable energy sources, but also for fundamentally new emerging technologies change the cost ratio for large-scale implementation, creating new demand and markets for environmentally friendly products and services.

Goal. Highlighting the problems and prospects of increasing industrial production without increasing anthropogenic impact on the environment.

Materials and methods. The research is based on the use of statistical analysis methods, as well as methods used to assess the main criteria of socio-ecological and economic approaches to the development of a green economy.

Results and discussion. In the course of the work, it was found that the current state and trends in the influence of environmental factors on other indicators of quality of life caused the inability of the market system to function without taking into account the build-up of negative external factors.

Conclusion. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that technologies are currently actively developing to minimize the negative impact on the ecosystem, and since the natural environment is closely linked to the economic system, states, both developed and developing, need to focus on the introduction of a new system of “green” economy. From the point of view of environmental management, sustained rapid economic growth requires greater attention to energy conservation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid serious environmental problems in the development process.
