Abstract

Since the late 1980s there has been a global rethinking of the human impact on the environment. This led to the emergence of various theories emphasizing environmental stewardship while maintaining a sustainable rate of economic growth. These theories are called the concept of sustainable development. The ecological component of sustainable development emphasizes a frugal attitude to the ecosystem, «green» technologies as the basis for innovative growth and protection of the right of future generations to the quality of the environment. Most developed countries already emphasize the development of such "green" technologies as hydropower, wind power, solar and bioenergy, and geothermal energy. Due to the growing demand of countries for energy resources, it is the development of "green" energy that can become a key point of economic growth of the national economy without harming the environment.
