In connection with the solution of the problems of sustainable development and environmental management in the state, the “green” economy and “green” projects, which are financed by a set of special financial instruments, called “green” investments, receive special development. Conclusions are drawn that: a) “green” investments should be understood as various financial instruments (cash, securities, property, etc.) that minimize and prevent negative environmental impacts, b) foreign and domestic practice of “green” investment indicates the presence of both public and private finance, allowing the implementation of “green” projects, c) in the Russian Federation, the following subjects of the federation are leading in terms of the prevalence of “green” investments: the Tyumen Region, Moscow and the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The scientific significance of the study of this topic lies in the development of theoretical provisions related to the investment of “green” projects with various financial instruments.
