Abstract
Currently, studies of the problems of convergence of leading countries in terms of the lean use of natural resources, the reduction of harmful emissions and the transition to using new types of energy carriers are highly relevant, with regard to sustainable development mainstream. At the same time, the majority of authors consider convergent processes from an economic or socio-political point of view. In this regard, the article examines the issues of ecological convergence, as a special structural shift in the economy, leading to radical positive changes in the environmental management system and a decrease in anthropogenic impact on the environment.
Highlights
Lack of attention to the need for pursuing an active and balanced with the economy environmental policy increases the divergent distance of countries that have different understanding of the essence of sustainable economic growth and further weakens the prerequisites for environmental convergence

We proposed a convergent typology of sustainable development based on the factors, criteria and types
Summary
Lack of attention to the need for pursuing an active and balanced with the economy environmental policy increases the divergent distance of countries that have different understanding of the essence of sustainable economic growth and further weakens the prerequisites for environmental convergence. This is quite consistent with the theory of the "Great Convergence" Ch.I. Jones and L. The rest of the countries, primarily developing ones, show growth not due to endogenous (reproductive, market-competitive, innovative and technological), but due to exogenous factors (mainly due to the growth of raw materials production) [2]
