Greening of economy in the context of implementation of the sustainable developmentconcept: theoretical aspect

Abstract

The article examines the theoretical aspect of greening the economy as a process that accompanies the implementation of the sustainable developmentconcept,as a modern paradigm of the global world order. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals is a priority of socio-economic strategies of developed countries and for Ukraine, which has already proved its belonging to a progressive democratic world, it is important to ensure high-quality transformation of the economy in accordance with world standards .It is established the relationship between greening the economy and sustainable development using the method of analysis of existing definitions of «green economy» among international organizations, foreign and domestic researchers to identify the main points in their meanings in the context of sustainable development; the quintessence of the concept of «green economy» is clarified on the basis of identified common provisions in groups by authorship of definitions; the nature of the relationship between the concepts of «sustainable development» and «green economy» is determined. According to the results of the study, the definition of «greening the economy» is given, which, although it coincides with the concept of «green economy», but means a process, not a result. In the context of ensuring the process of greening the economy as a way to achieve sustainable development, relevant tools that can be used in this process have been studied. Based on theoretical and empirical approaches, the tools of greening the economy are divided into three packages according to the three dimensions of sustainable development and describe the content of all proposed packages: tools to ensure the economic dimension of sustainable development, tools to ensure the social dimension of sustainable development and tools to ensure the environmental dimension of sustainable development.The problem of the need to adapt the process of greening the economy of Ukraine to the conditions of war was raised. It is proposed to expand the range of sustainable development to another dimension – military with a focus on military decoupling, as a promising area of research in the near future in the context of improving the security situation in the world in harmony with the environment.
