«Green economy» as a factor of economic security and sustainable development of the economy

Abstract

The current political and economic situation determines the need to change the concept of sustainable development of the economy and its economic security. In modern economic conditions, environmental and social factors are becoming increasingly important. This is due to the fact that the pace of economic growth has exacerbated the problem of the limited biocapacity of the planet, and the environmental factor limits the general welfare: from reduced life expectancy to natural disasters. The recognition by the world of the parity of environmental, economic and social values marked a transition to sustainable development. To date, about 200 states have announced the development and implementation of environmental policies in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. In the context of sustainability, new models of the economy related to environmental factors have become widespread both in theory and in practice: the «green economy», the economy based on green growth, the «low-carbon economy», the bioeconomy, the «blue economy», etc. The article is devoted to the study of trends in the greening of the Russian economy, as well as the latest developments in changing the system of indicators of economic and social progress. An analysis of Russia's activities in the field of ecologization of the economy is given, as well as a rationale for the prospects and effect of the transition to a «green economy» at the federal level. The object of the research is the formation of elements of the «green economy» in Russia. The subject of the work is an assessment of the level of development of the "green economy" in Russia and its impact on the economic security of the national economy.
