Abstract
Currently the green economy is an important part of positioning in the international arena as an environmental component of sustainable development. Russia, as an active party in the international arena, supports resolutions on the green economy development and green financing tools for resolving issues of climate-resistant economic growth. Factors and trends in the Russian green economy development are radically different from most developed countries. At the same time, Russia has undeniable advantages in terms of preserving natural landscapes and the ecosystem services’ potential. Russia also has huge and almost unused opportunities for green growth. Our article is devoted to these problematic economic issues related to the green investment development. It is a basis for environmentally sustainable evolution. We discuss the latest trends and facts in the thegreen economy development of Russia. In addition, we describe possible promising directions for its growth in the future. Our results can be interesting and useful for researchers and experts working in the field of strategic management, spatial development and innovation economics. It is attractive for stakeholders and politicians involved in the economics and environment issues.
