Over the past few years, the economies of the countries and individual companies have been given the strategic task of moving to green principles of activity. The mechanism for assessing economies' achievements (for countries in general) and business (for companies) is rather complex. It is important to evaluate the progress in this direction for countries and firms, as well as how they correspond to each other. The authors take the already developed indexes (GGEI and CSA) as the basis for evaluation of countries and companies, identify the main driving factors and constraints, and suggest the evaluation of such trends over the past five years. The authors apply the method of modifying the GGEI indicator and simplifying the evaluation of the CSA indicator, which allows one to determine the current trend of achieving a green economy and green business. The results prove a discrepancy between green economy and green business trends.

This part V deals with the introduction to Synoptics as a method and theory of social systems as a psychosocial approach toward societies at large. It elaborates in the following sub-chapters those social systems which have reached the 'highest social rank', i.e., sovereignty. Today they are mostly realised in the form of the nation-state. The considerations formulated here concerning this 'height of power' are the biggest pillars characterising these social systems: population strata, institutions, traditions and the ecological territorial base. However, also these considerations reach an unexpected strict frontier only one step further: the step into the global era, which unfolds in the 21st century, with new heavy challenges waiting to be somehow solved by the next generation(s).

A growing attention of researchers and politicians to the processes of formation and implementation of the environmental compensation mechanism is fixed in the last decade. Environmental compensation has been viewed as a national or regional regulatory mechanism that contributes to balancing the goal of environmental conservation with the goals of sustainable socio-economic development. The literature on the ecosystem service has developed the terminology of the eco-compensation mechanism. Still, they do not define its functional structure within its framework, in particular, a compensation mechanism for damage from the deterioration of ecosystem services. We characterised this crucial but relatively understudied component of the eco-compensation mechanism and suggested a general formula for determining the magnitude of compensatory payments for damages from degradation/destruction of ecosystem services, which will help to improve the implementation of compensatory payments in decision-making as well as drive green economic activity.

The use of alternative energy is beneficial and is in high demand all over the world. However, implementation of projects associated with alternative energy or the so-called 'green' projects in emerging economies remains rather low. The goal of this paper is to analyse and identify determinants that influence development of alternative energy in Ukraine. Specifically, the impact of the country's economic growth on the use of alternative energy is analysed. Granger test was applied to prove that power supply in the country does not change dynamics of alternative energy utilisation. Influence of globalisation and international cooperation on the development of alternative energy is also reviewed. The paper shows that both significantly influence the development of the global and local energy markets to provide incentives for global and regional environmental projects. The paper also investigates the need for appropriate infrastructure to support 'green' projects. It is suggested to classify infrastructure providers to support alternative power generation into three groups: 1) financial and credit institutions; 2) technical and technological businesses; 3) information technology (IT) and consulting companies. The paper discusses the existence and role of these groups in Ukraine.

It is determined that economic, energy and environmental security indicators are characterised by the presence of systemic interconnections. The results of the evaluation show, that environmental and energy security are more closely related than environmental and economic or energy and economic types of security. The integral index of environmental-energy-economic security was constructed and assessed taking into account the linkage of individual indicators. Sample of individual indicators is presented by 27 parameters (nine indictors for each security type, divided into groups), which are normalised. The internal consistence of indicators describing each type of security is evaluated by Cronbach coefficient alpha. Integral index considers interrelationships between individual indicators estimated as level and direction of pair correlation. The values of this index show that during 2000-2016, Slovak Republic demonstrated the highest level of such comprehensive security, while Poland - the lowest one.

The article focuses on the importance of human capital both in the context of the competitiveness of production and in the context of the impact of the level of development of human capital on the environment to achieve sustainable development. The emphasis of the study is on the unique component of human capital - the creative class. The concepts of creative and cognitive human capital are revealed. It has been established that in the countries of the European Union, the development of human capital correlates with a reduction in the negative impact of social activities on the environment. A correlation analysis between R&D costs and greenhouse gas emissions in the EU suggests a more complex picture of the relationship between creative human capital and environmental quality. By developing human capital, stimulating innovation, the housekeeper can thereby minimise the negative impact on the environment.

This study stresses the importance of curricular innovation for strengthening the relationship between the education market, the labour market and the community's life. Hence, we aim to discuss hypothetical pedagogical solutions to innovate the orthodox teaching system. It envisions reflecting on how to deepen citizens' awareness about another way of being, teaching and learning at the university, through active, cooperative, flexible and exciting practices. This article defends the implementation of the service-learning because it structures society in line with the values of justice, equity, solidarity and respect for human rights, things and nature. This work enshrines some novelty as it deals with a teaching-learning process that voices and gives time to creative participation of students, both in their educational process and in the construction of a plural and democratic citizenship.
