Restrictions in the Sphere of Solid Household Waste Management (p. 188 - 193)

The article is devoted to management of quality of environment in the context of solution of problems in the process of management of solid household waste (SHW), which are the result of human activity and accumulation of which takes the catastrophic scale today. The article shows main restrictions that determine the process of SHW management, which could be used for its improvement. Based on the conducted studies the article holds that the main restrictions that determine the process of SHW management are territorial, ecological, technological, social, economic, political, time and legal. In spite of certain positive moves both in the legislation sphere and in the sphere of management, the existing system of SHW management is not perfect and does not meet requirements of protection of environment and population from hazardous impact. Insufficient financing, instability of the market of secondary resources and political situation in Ukraine, difficulty in attraction of private investments, lack of initiative of some bodies of local self-government and population hamper introduction of a modern system of SHW management. The detected restrictions could be used when improving the SHW management system. Further studies would be directed at a more detailed elaboration of certain restrictions.

Complex of Marketing Measures When Organising Industry and Developing Regional Market of Secondary Raw Materials (p. 194 - 200)

The problem of secondary raw material management is one of the most important ecology-economic and social problems of regional development. At the same time, the issue of involvement of secondary resources into economic circulation within the socio-economic policy of a region with the help of formation of a marketing mechanism and its institutes, in particular by means of marketing measures, is insufficiently studied and requires further development. That is why the article develops and scientifically justifies a set of marketing measures when organising industry and developing the regional market of secondary raw materials, which takes into account ecological and educational components, on the basis of balancing interests and actions of all participants of this process and also outlines priority tasks of realisation of the concept of marketing in the market of secondary raw materials. The article identifies prospects of application of various forms and methods of marketing work for improvement of the process of secondary resource management, namely for: increase of the volume of collection of secondary raw materials, development of infrastructure for collection of secondary raw materials, establishment of interrelations between producers of products from secondary raw materials and their consumers; increase of volume of consumption of goods made of secondary raw materials; stimulation of attraction of investments into the sphere of waste management; reduction of losses of raw material, material and fuel-and-energy resources, which are taken now from economic circulation with waste; and creation of new working places, first of all, at small and medium enterprises. Scientific novelty lies in development of the complex of measures of realisation of marketing when managing the secondary raw material market, which, unlike the existing ones, takes into account ecological and educational components when interests of its participants are balanced. The obtained results of the study are directed at creation of grounds for development of a target-oriented programme of organisation of industry and development of the secondary raw material market in the context of synergetic development of a region.

The Raw-Materials Orientation of Ukrainian Economy as a Basic Determinant of the Exhausting Use of Natural Resources (p. 104 - 111)

The interrelation between the low efficiency of market reforms in the Ukrainian economy during the early stages of reforms and the increased raw-materials orientation of the most sectors of the national economy has been disclosed both in terms of the socio-economic recovery and the conditions of recession. The article determines dependence between the level of capitalization of the big business entities and the relative cheapness of natural raw materials owing to the lack of modern mechanisms for rental management of special use of natural resources. The article substantiates prerequisites for growing extent of the exhausting use of natural resources as a result of the raw-materials orientation of domestic exports and the lack of current mechanisms for the equivalent redistribution of natural resource rents. The major trends of increasing the volumes of exports of agricultural products with low value added as well as imports of the animal husbandry products have been identified. The interrelation between the sectoral shifts in the agrarian sector and the possibilities of organic farming in the face of increasing the volumes of production of grains and oilseeds has been determined. Expedience of introducing additional tools of fiscal and environmental control of the activities of the large vertically integrated formations has been substantiated in order to create favorable prerequisites for the development of traditional forms of agricultural entrepreneurship and limiting the extent of exhausting use of natural resources.

The Economic Mechanism for Nature Management: the Waste Management (p. 174 - 188)

The article substantiates expedience of improving the economic mechanism for nature management in the part of regulating the waste management processes in connection with the high level of resource-intensiveness of production in most sectors of the economy, as well as the lack of appropriate incentives for improved recycling of secondary raw materials. The dynamics of generation, utilization and disposal of waste of the I-III hazard classes for the period from 1994 to 2015 has been analyzed, allowing to determine the relationship between economic cycles and the main trends in the waste management. It has been found that during the studied period in the dynamics of capital investments into waste management, except for certain periods, there was no upward trend owing to lack of regulatory mechanism for efficient incentives that would encourage the corporate sector to invest into the development of material-technical base and the infrastructure for storing, recycling, incineration and landfill. It has been proven that the mainstream direction for improving the economic mechanism for nature management in the part of the formation of a contemporary financial and economic instrumentarium of waste management is extending the specification of forms of the public-private partnership, with the corresponding identification of fiscal payments for the temporary use of the landfills for storing waste.

The Regulatory and Legal Provision of Lands Monitoring (p. 209 - 214)

The publication is aimed at researching the status of lands use, studying of normative-legal provision of lands monitoring, and developing a structural-logical model of the lands monitoring formation. The authors carried out a research on the status of lands use in Ukraine and identified the inefficient distribution of the existing lands fund. The results of analysis of legislation of a number of countries demonstrate that there are different restrictions in the lands use sphere. Studies of the current legislation of Ukraine prove that lands monitoring should be considered as a complex system. A structural-logical model of formation of lands monitoring is developed, which characterizes interaction of constituents, in particular dependence of efficiency of lands monitoring from organization of observation process and normative-legal provision. The monitoring of agricultural lands is proposed to be carried out twice a year: before sowing and after harvesting, to assess the degree of agricultural influence on their condition. Prospect for further research is to conduct an assessment of lands monitoring at the regional and national levels as a basis for the formation of lands observation directions and, accordingly, to improve its regulatory and legal provision.

The essence, components and factors of the process of the ecologization of economic development in conditions of ecological crisis are considered, the views of researchers as to definition of the concept of «ecologization of both human and society» are systematized. It is substantiated that the ecologization of person implies the formation of a completely new view on the correlation of natural, cultural and social aspects of economic development. The contemporary socio-natural situation is such that it requires from a person to develop a new worldview, which scientists call eco-oriented and which would be free both from the pompous understanding of oneself as «king of nature», and from the «complex of inferiority» in relation to nature. It is concluded that nowadays the necessity of solving ecological problems poses a twofold problem for modern human: harmonization of relations in the system of «human – nature» and formation of a new type of the human as such.

Rents for Natural Gas in the Context of the Phenomenon of «Dutch Disease»: Ukrainian realities (p. 210 - 216)

It is determined that a simplified understanding of the problem of rental regulation of natural gas production does not allow to set reasonable rates of rent for the extraction of this type of hydrocarbons and to make a breakthrough in the direction of strengthening the energy self-sufficiency of the national economy, as well as to reduce the recurrences of domestic manifestations of the «Dutch disease». The essential characterization of the administration of rents for the use of subsoil for natural gas production as an important component of the system of fiscal regulation of subsoil use and a significant factor in terms of filling financial funds of the State and territorial communities is disclosed. It is defined that the existing mechanism for administration of rent for the use of subsoil for natural gas production has a purely fiscal focus, generates price inflections in the natural gas market and artificially inflates the cost of blue fuel and this ultimately has a negative impact on the energy self-sufficiency of the national economy. Existing approaches to setting rents for natural gas production are considered, in view of the importance of this type of hydrocarbon raw material for the development of the national economy and its permanent insufficiency. Research has shown that, despite the upward trend in the dynamics of nominal rental income for the use of subsoil for natural gas production in the State budget of Ukraine, a real increase in revenues of this type of fiscal payments to the main financial fund of the State is not observed because of the absence of an uptrend in the production volumes of this component of hydrocarbonraws. It is determined that excessively high rates of rent, which are paid by the gas producing companies, do not provide the necessary incentives to increase investment flows in the development of the material-technical basis of gas production and do increase the cost of blue fuel for different categories of consumers, which ultimately leads to a decrease in the competitiveness of industrial production and a curtailment of business activity. It is substantiated that measures to reduce the rates of rent for the use of subsoil for natural gas production should be accompanied by the application of a new formula for calculating the price of blue fuel, which balances the price of imported natural gas and the natural gas of domestic production.

The Theoretical Aspects of the Functioning and Development of Forestry in Ukraine (p. 187 - 192)

The main aim of this article is to deepen the theoretical provisions of the functioning and development of forestry in Ukraine, allocating the features of economic activity in this sphere. The article puts special emphasis on the definition of the essence of the category of «forestry». To do this, the contents of such definitions as: «forest sector», «forestry», «forest complex», «forest industry», «forest-industry complex» and «forest-based industry sector» were analyzed. A detailed study of these categories, in addition to a closer definition of their essence, has also allowed us to determine their relationship. The result of the study provides the following interpretation of the essence of the category of «forestry» - this is a material production industry that studies, records, reproduces and protects forests, as well as regulates their use to meet the needs of economic actors in the forest-based and other related resources. Thus, in our opinion, forestry should be considered as a separate industry, as a part of the forest sector of the country. The article also defines the functioning and development of forestry as a separate, holistic economic system.

The Institutional Approaches to Modernizing the System of Ecological Security in Terms of Provision of Sustainable Development (p. 281 - 288)

The article proves that the transition to sustainable development poses new demands on ecological security, which in the context of the globalization of the world-wide economic space and the internationalization of environmental problems becomes the dominant factor of global security through aggravation of the ecological situation, which requires effective policies to improve it. It is determined that ecological security can be defined as the ability of the «environment – society – economy» system to maintain equilibrium and balance through dynamic renewal and self-improvement, to counter both external and internal threats and challenges, and to provide acceptable levels of risk to the population and the sustainability of socio-economic development, as well as the reproduction of natural and socio-economic potential. It is proved that the process of institutionalization of ecological security take place in several stages: emergence of a need for security, the satisfaction of which depends on joint actions to prevent risks and threats or eliminate consequences (economic, environmental, social, etc.); formation of common goals for achieving security, public norms, in particular legal norms, to ensure the interaction of actors; formation of a system of sanctions and responsibility in order to implement the rules and regulations of conduct of the actors. A component scheme to modernize ecological security is elaborated, which should include several main components, namely, a system of legal, institutional, organizational and financial measures, which, thanks to integrated use, will contribute to the achievement of ecological policy goals and increase its efficiency. The main directions of institutional transformation in the environmental sphere are proposed. It is determined that institutional transformations in the process of modernization of the ecological security sphere are a deliberate process of changing the institutional structure and system of institutions in order to green the economy while maintaining the leading role of the State on the basis of methods that influence the modification of institutions.

Genesis of the Scientific-Practical Principles of Sustainable Development Programs in Ukraine (p. 83 - 92)

The article is aimed at researching features of the genesis of scientific-practical principles for the formation and implementation of sustainable development programs in Ukraine. It is allocated and substantiated that in the evolution of these principles and in the formation of the modern model of sustainable development there is a fundamental merit of Ukrainian scholars who crystallized this problematics in their pioneering writings (in particular, S. A. Podolynskyy, V. I. Vernadskyy, M. D. Rudenko). It is emphasized that the genesis of sustainable development is closely related to the need to develop significant financial resources for the protection of the environment. In particular, the compensation of current anthropogenic load on the environment is possible at the total cost of its protection and recovery comprising 6% of GDP, and already at 8-10% even the before caused damage to the environment can be neutralized. It is proved that sustainable development for Ukraine in the framework of these programs is strategically possible only due to the development of such ecological mechanism of motivation that will be beneficial to both business entities and consumers (population), and this determines the need for concretization of tasks and determination of generally accepted appraisal and comparative parameters for the corresponding model. It is grounded that to further ensure formation and proper financing of specific sustainable economic development programs, it is necessary to activate the process of adaptation of both the global goals and the exponential base to the needs of different regions of the State, based on the current decentralisation provisions and the new administrative and territorial division. It is emphasized that the program nature of sustainable development directly depends on the purposeful attention on the part of government institutions along with practitioners for scientific-technological progress, in particular in the part of the development of resource-saving technologies in the system of both the formation of a gross domestic product, and the stimulation of motivation to increase welfare of the population.

Optimizing the Organizational Structure of Resource and Ecological Security Management at the Regional Level on an Innovative Basis (p. 60 - 68)

The publication is aimed at developing conceptual principles of cluster policy of providing resource and ecological security (RES) in the region taking into account the innovative, infrastructure and entrepreneurial potential of the region aimed at the development of ecologically oriented enterprises and eco-business. On the basis of the carried out SWOT-analysis of the factors of functioning of the management system of the RES, the article defines the necessity of introduction of a cluster model of interconnection of the subjects of the RES management system in terms of attracting and using resources available in the relevant territory to increase the efficiency of ecologically oriented enterprises, increase the competitiveness of the region and provide the RES. A methodical approach to substantiation of cluster formation and development in the regional economy to provide the RES of the region is proposed. Taking into account the existing relationships between the entities in the RES management system, a generalizing model of cluster creation in the region’s RES system is formed. And this model can be implemented for two cases: 1) creation of clusters of disclosure of innovative and investment potential of secondary material and energy resources in the region or 2) ecologically oriented production clusters, the formation of which is determined by the production specificity of regions that have the most closed technological cycle of raw materials and energy management. Thus, the developed authors’ model of the cluster can be modified depending on the specific objectives and tasks of the RES system taking into account the regional specifics. It is determined that the regional cluster in the system of provision of RES has a number of competitive advantages, which are determined by the following factors: consolidation of the efforts directed to the end result, for which all cluster participants operate; both saving and rational use of all types of resources consumed by the production enterprises of the cluster; optimization of transport support on the basis of logistical approaches, the efficiency of which increases significantly within the cluster formation; possibility of wide access to innovative ideas, progressive technologies, etc., which stimulates innovative activity of cluster participants; lack of rigid management vertical, which is characteristic of centralized management, which creates a certain freedom to choose managerial decisions, activates entrepreneurial activity. Thus, as a result of clustering a favorable entrepreneurial environment is formed in the system of provision of RES, the activity of economic entities of all forms of ownership is growing, the innovative and investment processes are accelerated, efficient economic models of production development are created.

Improved Relationship Structure of Participants in the Solid Waste Management System by Balancing their Economic Interests (p. 155 - 164)

The article is aimed at developing an alternative structure of relationships between participants of the solid household waste management chain (SHWM) by analyzing the existing economic interests and relations of participants from the European countries who have achieved the greatest success in this sphere. The methods and instruments for satisfying the economic interest of each participant of the solid waste management chain in these countries are identified, which leads to the existing structure of relationships. As a result of the study, an alternative scheme of relationships between the participants in the SHWM together with the formula for calculating profits/savings for both producers and processors of waste are proposed. A way to achieve advanced results without infusing significant funds of both budget and citizens is proposed for Ukraine and the countries of Eastern Europe. Using the proposed scheme, each participant chooses its actions for its own economic reasons, and the State is given the role of education and control. Prospects for further research in this direction are quantitative and financial analysis of the situation with SHW for each city and the identification of target indicators for each link in order to ensure the desired result, in compliance with the economic interests of all participants, with a minimum burden on the producer, processor of SHW and the State.

The article is aimed at assessing the main tendencies in the development of ecologically oriented business in Ukraine and in certain regions of the world. The major tendencies in the development of ecologically oriented business both in Ukraine and worldwide are researched. The production of organic products in the world for 1999–2018 was analyzed in terms of acreage, production volumes and structure. It is emphasized that the growth rate of this market is very high in all analyzed indicators. Global organic products market volumes in 2017 amounted to USD 97 billion, compared to USD 15.2 billion in 1999. In view of the volume of consumption per inhabitant, the leaders were Switzerland (USD 325), Denmark (USD 315) and Sweden (USD 268). In Ukraine, the amount of consumption per capita was less than 1 US dollar. The largest markets in absolute terms were the USA and the EU countries. The structure of the organic market of different countries was studied, as well as the leaders in the consumption of organic products were identified. It is specified that the structure of the organic products market in each country has significant features. Thus, in Norway, a significant proportion belongs to baby food products (33.1%), while Germany has the widespread consumption of organic bread and bakery products (8%), and eggs (21.0%). It is underlined that the vast majority of organic products produced in Ukraine are exported (EUR 104 million in 2018). In Ukraine during 2002–2017, acreages under organic crops grew at a high rate (from 164.4 thousand hectares to 420 thousand hectares). However, in 2018 there was a decrease in these areas to the level of 309.1 thousand hectares, although the number of enterprises engaged in production increased from 375 to 501. It is concluded that further development of the organic products market is possible only if the level of incomes together with the State support of producers increase.

Innovation-Investment Activity in the Development of Alternative Sources of Energy: The Factors of Influence (p. 144 - 151)

The article defines and systematizes the factors of innovation and investment activity in the development of alternative energy sources, followed by the separation of those groups of factors that have a dominant influence on the processes of ensuring innovation and investment activity in the development of alternative energy sources. The volumes of global investments in alternative energy sources are analyzed, in particular, it is determined that wind energy and biofuels have become the most investment attractive to foreign investors. It is identified that solar energy is characterized by rapid development and has the largest scale of construction of new capacities in Ukraine. The comparison of real indicators of renewable energy sources with the planned ones in accordance with the National Renewable Energy Action Plan until 2020 and the Energy Strategy of Ukraine until 2035 «Security, Energy Efficiency, Competitiveness» was carried out. It is determined that Ukraine, although it lags behind the global pace of implementation of the use of renewable energy sources, still has a tendency to reduce the consumption of traditional fuels, in particular imported natural gas. It is substantiated that at the center of the multidimensional system of factors of innovation and investment development of alternative energy sources should be the purpose of satisfying the interests of each individual citizen as the driving force of the necessary reforms on the effective use of territorial resources, as well as to ensure the sustainable development of the country. It is emphasized that precisely the innovative nature of development should cover a comprehensive study of all factors that are part of the relevant field of scientific knowledge, the achievement of scientific and technological progress, efficient socio-economic and environmental technologies. The need to focus on finding solutions and substantiating the effectivity of the implementation of alternative energy of the entire accumulated human, production and technological potential is determined. It is emphasized that the effective and dynamic use of alternative energy sources for Ukraine is a strategically important task, the solution of which will reduce the anthropogenic load on the environment, as well as increase the number of jobs, financial revenues to budgets of all levels, which, in turn, will lead to the sustainable development of the region and the country as a whole.

A Model Circular Economy as a Trend of Sustainable Development (p. 124 - 132)

The article presents the advantages of implementing the conception of circular economy (CE), which are not limited to reducing pressure on natural systems, but are based on economic benefits associated with the creation of new jobs, increasing labor productivity, and increasing the competitiveness of the economy. In the course of the study, the author proves that the effective implementation of the conception of circular economy should rely on simultaneous consideration of both perspectives: taking measures by enterprises and implementing at both the political and social levels. Enterprises will only implement environmental methods if it provides them with economic benefits. However, without the support of initiative in the top-down direction (for example, grants and tax incentives), aimed at limiting the use of raw materials, limiting emissions and pollution, there will be no permanent closure of the cycle of material flows. The implementation of the conception of circular economy is based on the so-called 3R (recycle, reuse, reduce). The author analyzes the principles of circular economy, namely: preservation and increase of natural capital by controlling limited reserves and balancing the flows of renewable resources; optimizing the use of resources through the circulation of products, components and materials used with the highest utility in both the technical and biological cycle; maintaining the efficiency of the system by identifying and projecting negative external effects. The developed conceptual model provides for a balance between «top-down» and «bottom-up» approaches, taking into account (not limiting) the disparities in the motivation of different stakeholders of the CE conception in the context of harmonization of economic, environmental and social benefits. The development of sustainable business models is associated with ecodesign, as well as with reverse supply chains. The carried out research can become the basis for further empirical research and provide assistance to decision makers in creating different scenarios by including more specific and industry-specific variables.

Improving the Economic Mechanism of Environmental Management at the Local Level in the Context of Decentralization Processes (p. 133 - 139)

It is determined that the economic mechanism of economic management of the nature is a set of methods, means, instruments and forms of budget-tax and financial-credit regulation of economic development and use in the reproduction process of the natural component of national wealth, as well as the implementation of activities aimed at the reproduction of natural resource potential and environmental protection. It is substantiated that in the current socioeconomic and political-legal conditions, the economic mechanism of economic management of the nature operates with an overly narrowed specification of methods and instruments, which makes it impossible to fully ensure a sufficient level of financing for the implementation of environmental projects and priorities for expanded reproduction and enhance of the natural resource potential. It is proved that in the unfavorable conditions of the European natural gas market for the national economy and crisis phenomena caused by the curtailment of business activity due to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, budgetary opportunities for financing environmental expenditures are limited. Researches have shown that in the dynamics of the real value of environmental expenditures of both the State and local budgets in 2002-2020 in general, there is a downward trend, which indicates a real decrease in the volume of public financing of environmental protection. It is substantiated that due to the deregulation of land relations, that is, the transfer of the State-owned agricultural land outside settlements to communal ownership, additional resource opportunities have been formed to increase the efficiency of the use of instruments of the economic mechanism of economic management of the nature at the local level. It is determined that in the conditions of an overly unified system of budget and tax regulation of economic management of the nature and limited opportunities for financing environmental activities, ensuring a high level of efficiency of functioning of the economic mechanism of economic management of the nature at the local level requires the installation of a complex of incentives into the range of its instruments and methods. Such incentives will orient the entities of agrarian entrepreneurship to the introduction of additional capacities of organic farming, organic cattle breeding and organic feed production. It is substantiated that such incentives are represented by tax and budget preferences.

Economic Mechanism of Nature Management: The Institutional Basis and Instrumental-Methodological Provision (p. 51 - 57)

It was found that the economic mechanism of nature management operates with an insufficient set of methods, instruments and levers that would make it possible to increase the complexity of economic development of natural resource potential and strengthen the effectiveness of the influence of the sphere of nature management on the pace of socioeconomic growth. It is substantiated that for the formation of a modern economic mechanism of nature management, it is necessary to create an institutional basis, which will provide for the installation in the regulatory environmental architectonics of new institutions-rules capable of ensuring more efficient involvement of natural raw materials and ecosystem services in market circulation. It is determined that the instrumental and methodological provision of the economic mechanism of nature management should cover a wide range of methods, instruments and levers, which will allow to ensure the budget-tax and financial-credit impact on the maximum number of operations related to the extraction of material substance of natural raw materials and the use of non-commodity qualities of natural complexes. Studies have shown that in the modern economic mechanism of nature management there should be present a wide range of financial-economic and managerial-economic methods. Financial and economic methods include: evaluation, accounting, programming, planning, forecasting, taxation, budget financing, investment, insurance, lending. The list of managerial-economic methods includes: licensing, expert assessment, certification, regulation, standardization, monitoring, cadastre, limiting, rationing. It is determined that the current economic mechanism of nature management should cover budget, tax, customs, credit, mortgage and collateral, stock, investment, insurance instruments, as well as instruments based on the implementation of public-private partnership agreements. It is substantiated that in the structure of the economic mechanism of nature management two types of levers be distinguished: financial and economic incentives (tax benefits, soft loans, customs privileges, price discounts/allowances, cross-subsidization. endowment) and financial and economic sanctions (fines, penalties, reimbursement, compensation, financial restrictions, budget limits).

Improvement of the Economic Mechanism of Nature Use in Conditions of Institutional Transformations: Goals, Global and National Determinants (p. 122 - 132)

It is substantiated that in the conditions of deepening institutional transformations in the natural resource sector of the national economy, which involve the reform of the natural resource management system, the diversification of ownership of natural resource and natural economic assets, the institutionalization of new organizational and legal forms of environmental protection and environmental economic entrepreneurship, the problem of improving the economic mechanism of nature management both at the national and local levels is being updated. It was revealed that the main prerequisite for the formation of a modern economic mechanism of nature use is the development of regulatory and legal support for the diversification of methods, tools and levers of regulatory influence on nature users. It has been established that the following are the main global determinants that must be taken into account when modernizing the budget-tax, monetary-credit, regulatory-permissive and advisory components of the economic mechanism of nature use: the European integration vector of Ukraine's development; modern global environmental protection architecture; the conjuncture of world commodity markets. Studies have shown that the main national determinant of the development of measures to improve the economic mechanism of nature management is the decentralization of power and the reform of local self-government, which provide for the transfer of a significant bundle of powers, in particular in the system of natural resource management and environmental protection, to the level of territorial communities. It is substantiated that when institutionalizing and differentiating the level of regulatory influence on nature users, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the functioning of the public and corporate sectors and the household sector in the field of nature use. It was established that the list of main goals for improving the economic mechanism of nature management should include: increasing the level of capitalization of the economic development of natural resource potential and the use of ecosystem services; provision of integrated nature management and environmental protection in the public and corporate sectors, as well as in the household sector; increasing the level of social and environmental responsibility of business; creation of conditions for accelerated development of various types of bioenergy.

Modern Approaches to Assessing the Energy Efficiency of the National Economy (p. 34 - 39)

The article notes that energy efficiency cannot simply be a vague and ambiguous concept that does not have accurate assessment methods. It should have clear measurements and evaluation methods. When the question arises as to measuring or evaluating, the lack of a clear definition of energy efficiency can cause the results to differ and it will be difficult to compare them depending on the needs or objectives. So the need to develop an accurate and unified definition of energy efficiency, as well as its classification and development of measurement methods is highlighted. It is emphasized that highly developed countries of the world have significant experience in achieving a high level of energy efficiency of national economies, but they also do not currently have developed a unified system of energy efficiency indicators at the national level, methods for their assessment and analysis. The energy intensity of GDP is almost the only universal instrument by which international and regional comparisons of energy efficiency levels of national economies are possible. It is shown that in recent years in Ukraine there has been a clear tendency to reduce the energy intensity of the national economy in almost all spheres. The State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine has developed tables of primary data and a methodology for calculating energy efficiency indicators of the Ukrainian economy. Primary data and calculation indicators are formed by such sectors as industry, transport, housing, agriculture, services. The article shows that recent methods for evaluating energy efficiency based on modeling the efficiency limit, namely, DEA and SFA models, have become a popular tool for evaluating energy efficiency. Despite a number of its advantages, the DEA method does not take into account statistical noise. In contrast to DEA models, SFA models use the Shepard distance function to determine the energy efficiency index and take into account statistical noise.

Risks for the Development of a Circular Model of the Economy in Conditions of Instability of the World Market (p. 48 - 53)

The purpose of the article is to identify and substantiate the risks in the global energy market, which limit the further development of the circular economy model in the leading countries of the world. The relevance of introducing a circular model of the economy due to aggravation of environmental crises, lack of natural resources to ensure sustainable development of economies is explained. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an additional round of interest in the introduction of a circular model of the economy. Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine has led to significant transformations in world markets, primarily the energy market, which will have long-term consequences for the global economy. Countries in today’s conditions are facing the problem of finding the best option for ensuring energy security and «green» development. One of these negative consequences is the emergence of risks for the further development of the circular model of the economy. The energy market is one of the backbone for the effective functioning of the world economy, so the current turbulence of the energy market poses significant threats. The actual factors of influence are analyzed; the key risks for the development of a circular model of the economy are systematized. It is determined that the current instability of the energy market has necessitated an increase in ESG investments, the aggravation of the confrontation between key actors in international relations leads to an increase in military spending in the budgets of countries. This situation increases the urgency of improving the mechanism of the State regulation of the economy, balancing instruments in order to reduce the growing number of global challenges. As a result of the study, the directions of the State regulation aimed at minimizing the risks for the development of a circular model of the economy caused by russia’s military aggression against Ukraine are identified. It is substantiated that the circular model of the economy will contribute to the more efficient use of resources, ensure sustainable development, increase the level of ecological safety.

The Economic Instruments for Overcoming Ecological Problems in Ukraine (p. 53 - 59)

The purpose of the article is to develop proposals for improving the economic instruments for overcoming ecological problems in Ukraine. A significant deterioration in the state of the environment in an unstable economic situation is emphasized. The significant aggravation of ecological and economic problems in the country during the wartime and the need to overcome them are underlined. The dynamics of changes in the state of the environment, in particular the volume of waste generation and disposal in Ukraine during 2016-2020, is examined. It is concluded that there is an unstable trend of changes in the volume of waste generated, which allowed to state the inconsistent and unsystematic ecological policy of the government recently. As a positive point, the tendency to reduction of the waste of I–III hazard classes is specified. The tendency to decrease the volume of recycled and burned waste and increase the amount of waste in specially designated places and facilities is determined, which can also be the cause of aggravation of ecological problems in the country. An analysis of the dynamics of capital investments and current costs for the protection and rational use of natural resources is carried out. It is concluded that at the state level in Ukraine the problem of greening production has not yet been resolved. It is emphasized that ecologically safe and resource-saving technologies, as well as waste processing and purification require additional financial investments. It is underlined that economic instruments for regulating the behavior of economic and ecological systems today require additional substantiation. The possibilities of more efficient use of methods of taxation, customs policy, lending, provision of subsidies and benefits, imposition of fines, etc. are considered. The need to introduce ecological management as an important direction to overcome ecological problems in the country is proved. In order to ensure the efficiency of the considered economic instruments, the need for an appropriate control system with performance control and compliance with standards is substantiated.

Ecological and Economic Provision of Recreational Forest Use in the Context of Decentralization: The Prerequisites, Goals, and Requirements of Wartime (p. 114 - 122)

It is defined that the factor of the presence of a large number of injured citizens of Ukraine as a result of Russian aggression requires the introduction of additional capacities in the recreational industry to ensure their recovery, in particular by means of psychological rehabilitation. It is revealed that, based on the existing natural and recreational potential of forest biogeocenoses, forestry of Ukraine has significant reserves for the development of recreational infrastructure. It is substantiated that due to the significant impact of recreational activities in forest biogeocenoses on the ecological sustainability of forest ecosystems, it is expedient to develop a system of ecological and economic provision for recreational forest management, taking into account the requirements of wartime and the consequences of deepening decentralization of power and local self-government reform. It is determined that a modern system of ecological and economic provision for recreational forest use should be based on taking into account information and digital, environmental-resource and institutional factors caused by corporatization of the forest sector of the national economy; digital transformation of the system of control over the economic development of forest resources potential; implementation of the basic provisions of international environmental conventions in the domestic practice of forestry. It is proved that an effective system of ecological and economic provision for recreational forest use in wartime conditions can be formed as a result of achieving the main, auxiliary and interim goals of forming a set of recreational and tourism products based on the development of the recreational value of forest biogeocenoses. It is found that in the spectrum of the main goals of ecological and economic provision for recreational forest management, the normalization of the tourist flow is of great importance, taking into account the maximum permissible recreational load on forest biogeocenoses to prevent manifestations of recreational digression. It is substantiated that the development of the infrastructure of recreational forest management and the expansion of the range of recreational services by permanent forest users will make it possible to ensure more efficient commercialization of protected objects that are in the use of forestry entities, thus allowing to increase the level of capitalization of forestry in different natural climatic zones.

It is found that a necessary condition for preventing the manifestations of excessive recreational load on forest biogeocenoses is the formation of an institutional environment for the development of mechanisms for the ecological and economic support of the introduction of forest recreational infrastructure. It is substantiated that the institutional environment of recreational forest use is a complex of institutions-regulations and institutions-organizations that ensure the economic development of the recreational potential of forests and its further commercialization through various forms of market commodity-money relations. It is identified that the complex of modern institutions-regulations of recreational forest use should be aimed at forming in forest users such worldview orientations that will provide for more efficient use of forest ecosystem services instead of priority development of the most liquid wood component of the forest fund. It is proved that an important component of the institutional environment for the functioning of forest recreational infrastructure is the formation of a set of institutions-organizations that will provide assistance in promoting recreational forestry products to the market of recreational services, in particular, provide consulting services on the specification of forestry activities related to the organization of tourism and recreational activities in the territory of forest biogeocenoses. It i determined that the mechanisms of ecological and economic support for the introduction of forest recreational infrastructure facilities are the following: mechanism for ecological and forestry regulation of recreational load on forest biogeocenoses; mechanism for financial and economic support for the development of forest recreational infrastructure; mechanism for economic stimulation of recreational development of the resource potential of forests. It is substantiated that the specification of mechanisms for environmental and economic support for the introduction of recreational infrastructure facilities should be focused on maximizing the integrated efficiency of recreational forest use, taking into account the requirements of deepening decentralization of power and martial law.

Current Innovations of the Biotechnology Market: The Advantages and Economic Benefits (p. 63 - 72)

Environmental pollution due to anthropogenic activity in many regions of the planet and, in particular, in Ukraine has reached a critical level. Thus, the situation in the field of processing, utilization and, especially, disinfection of waste of various origins has become more complicated, which leads to regular accidents at municipal wastewater treatment plants and landfills. One of the main directions of solving these problems is the development of high-efficiency biological products aimed at minimizing and neutralizing the negative effects of environmental pollution. In order to create such biological products, competitive in the world market of biotechnology, on the basis of original domestic methods, a systematic study of ash and slag waste and the impact of various types of cultures of microorganisms on their neutralization was carried out. The study included the following: analysis of statistical data on periods of self-purification of soils and waters; analysis of the results of the use of biological products for cleaning cesspools, food waste processing, compost pits, farmland and polluted water; a comparative analysis of costs during the use of chemical and biotechnological methods of wastewater treatment with the subsequent calculation of the economic effect; analysis of the initial data of coal dust from the state CHP in order to substantiate the feasibility of its further processing both for the extraction of rare trace elements and to reduce the level of ecological damage; proposal and research of domestic biological products to solve the problems of municipal facilities for the purification of domestic wastewater, purification of water bodies and to eliminate emergency spills of petroleum products on the soil and water; computation of the economic efficiency of biotechnology application in comparison with the chemical method of water purification.

A Study on Prospects for the Use of Agrobiomass in the Direction of Ensuring Environmental and Energy Independence of Agricultural Enterprises (p. 98 - 112)

The article conducts a study indicating the importance of bioenergy as one of the main directions of renewable energy. Bioenergy occupies a leading position in the global market and plays a significant role in replacing fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Bioenergy, in particular the use of agrobiomass, has great potential in Ukraine for energy production. However, now the development of bioenergy in the country lags behind the European level. In order to facilitate the development of this industry, it is necessary to use the available agrobiomass resources and introduce modern energy production technologies. It is further defined that for the development of bioenergy in Ukraine it is important to create a favorable legislative environment and infrastructure. It is necessary to attract investment in the industry, support research and development of new technologies, as well as have specialists trained who can effectively implement bioenergy projects. The study revealed that one of the ways to use agrobiomass for energy production is to grow energy crops such as straw, corn and sunflower stalks, corn silage, organic components of household waste, sewage sludge and waste from livestock breeding enterprises. For optimal use of agrobiomass, it is necessary to take into account environmental and socioeconomic aspects, ensure the sustainability of raw material supplies and develop efficient production technologies. The publication provides data on the consumption of renewable heat energy in Ukraine during 2007–2024. Different types and methods of energy production from agrobiomass are described and a classification of technologies for the gradual transformation of agrobiomass into energy products is presented.

Reproduction of the Main Capital of Forestry Economy in the Conditions of Digitalization, European Integration and Decentralization: The Ecological and Economic Aspects (p. 113 - 120)

It is substantiated that the main capital of forestry economy includes the technical-technological, production-economic and natural-resource components, which requires the formation of a modern model of ecological and economic regulation of its reproduction to prevent the processes of exhausting and unbalanced forest use. It is determined that at the present moment the decisive influence on the paces, proportions and scale of reproduction of the main capital of forestry economy is exercised by the processes of European integration, digitalization and decentralization, which to some extent is reflected in the State Strategy for Forest Management of Ukraine until 2035. Studies have shown that in 2013–2021 in the dynamics of most articles of capital expenditures for the purchase of production equipment, cars, devices, machinery and mechanisms, there is an upward trend, owing to both the real growth of capital investments and devaluation-inflationary processes. It is revealed that in 2013–2021 there is a reduction in total capital expenditures for the purchase of road construction equipment, which reduces the ability of permanent forest users to develop a network of forestry roads. It is substantiated that deepening the digital transformation of the forest management system and the movement of forest products requires an increase in capital expenditures in the acquisition of modern software and other information and digital technologies, which will lead to an increase in the share of intangible assets in the structure of main capital of forestry economy. It is found that in recent years certain institutional prerequisites have been formed for diversification of sources of financial and investment support for the reproduction of fixed capital of forestry economy due to an increase in the volume of bank lending and additional attraction of foreign investments. It is proved that a perspective institutional form of diversification of sources of financing for the reproduction of main capital are public-private partnership agreements, which will ensure the consolidation of resources of the public and corporate sectors to accelerate the processes of expanded reproduction and economic development of the forest resource potential of the country.

Formation of a Decentralized Model of Financial and Economic Regulation of Environmental Protection and Nature Management Activity: The Focus on European Experience (p. 74 - 82)

It is found that in the context of martial law and deepening decentralization of power and local government reform, there is a need to form a decentralized model of financial and economic regulation of environmental management, which will allow more efficient accumulation of natural resource and environmental payments and ensure their targeted use in terms of expanded reproduction of natural resource potential and environmental protection. It is substantiated that a distinctive feature of the interbudgetary distribution of natural resource rent and environmental tax is their excessive centralization, which does not allow forming a sufficient financial base of local self-government for financial and investment support aimed at the reproduction of natural resource potential, development of a network of natural and economic and environmental infrastructure and environmental protection. It is identified that in 1999-2021, the dynamics of the proportion of local budgets in the total revenues of rent and fees for the use of other natural resources and environmental taxes to the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine shows a downward trend, which indicates the existence of gaps between the declared priorities of fiscal deregulation in the system of natural resource management and environmental protection and the actual decentralization of the accumulation of environmental payments in public budgets. It is found that the effectiveness of the decentralized model of financial and economic regulation of environmental management directly depends on the growth of the concentration of eco-resource payments in local budgets, which, in combination with the spatial and territorial communal assets, will allow diversifying the sources and methods of financial and investment support for rationalizing the use of natural raw materials and environmental protection in the adjacent territories. It is substantiated that the basis for building a decentralized model of financial and economic regulation of environmental management should be the Polish experience of organizing financial and investment support for environmental rehabilitation through the formation of a network of environmental protection funds at both the national and regional levels.

The Role of Eco-Innovation in Supporting Resource Efficiency and Corporate Stability for Sustainable Economic Growth (p. 70 - 77)

In the context of the growing global concern for sustainable economic growth, the importance of managing limited natural resources and minimizing the impact on the environment is becoming increasingly evident. In this direction, joint efforts must focus on developing an economy that meets the needs of the present without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. To achieve this goal, eco-innovation becomes essential, by promoting the development and implementation of innovative technologies aimed at supporting resource efficiency and reducing the negative impact on the environment. In this context, the paper aims to analyze the role of eco-innovation in resource efficiency, where the author presents and explains the interdependence between the 2 concepts in the context of sustainable economic growth. At the same time, the paper aims to analyze the activities undertaken by companies from the Republic of Moldova in terms of resource efficiency and the impact of climate change on strategies. The methodology is based on the survey method, methods of analysis and synthesis of data interpretation and relevant comparisons. The research results illustrate different ways in which companies are adapting to changes in their environment, including climate change, and various efforts to improve resource efficiency, which remain very modest. This underlines the importance of developing and implementing resource optimization strategies within companies, through eco-innovations, while monitoring the impact of these strategies, which is a way to respond to permanent challenges in the business environment and to contribute to strengthening a more sustainable economy.

The Global Dimension of Environmental Investment: Between Renewable Energy and Fossil Fuels (p. 144 - 150)

It is determined that the conclusion in recent decades of a set of international environmental agreements related to the fight against global warming and the solution of other environmental problems on a planetary scale, forms the institutional basis for reviewing the priorities of investment activities in the field of environmental management on a global scale. The article discloses the modern global dimension of investment activity in the field of environmental management, taking into account the requirements of the world environment preserving architectonics and the challenges of transferring national economies to the model of low-carbon development. It is determined that the key feature of the modern format of global investment in the sphere of environmental management is a shift in emphasis from additional development of mineral reserves towards financial and investment support for the implementation of projects for the development of the renewable energy industry in accordance with key provisions of international environmental conventions, in particular the provisions of the New Climate Agreement. It is identified that the increase in the amount of financing for renewable energy projects in 2010–2022 was accompanied by an increase in the production of hydrocarbons, which is due to the further orientation of most developing countries to an extensive type of development, which provides for the additional involvement of fossil fuels in the economic and energy turnover. It is substantiated that the increase in investment inflows in renewable energy on a global scale is associated with the transition of national economies of a significant number of countries to the model of low-carbon development, which involves the use of a wide range of methods and tools to stimulate the processes of resource and energy saving, as well as the rejection of mineral fuels, in particular fossil solid fuels. It is determined that the positive trend in the dynamics of global financing of renewable energy is due to the growth of investments in projects to attract renewable sources for the production of various types of energy in developing countries, which are actually becoming key players in the transition to a model of low-carbon development with the support of international organizations and global climate funds.

Development of Green Energy in Modern Transformational Conditions (p. 151 - 158)

The aim of the article is to form the scientific and theoretical basis for the introduction of green energy and systematize the scientific and practical foundations for ensuring energy security in the transition to the effective use of green energy technologies. According to the results of the carried out study, it is proved that energy is the basis for the development of human civilization, the most important factor in the production and maintenance of life in modern transformational conditions. It is the active development of the energy industry sector that provides resources for all energy and temperature processes of production, information and management activities and the dynamic functioning of the social sphere of society, as well as forms the main flows of world trade and integrates international relations. The energy industry is associated with significant challenges and threats that call into question its ability to continue to meet the basic criteria of sustainable energy supply, namely: sufficiency, affordability, efficiency, and ecology. The predictable maturation of the energy crisis in the modern world has a long-term and structural nature, which forms the financial, economic and environmental crises. Therefore, there is a need to search for alternative energy sources that will have a low level of negative impact on the environmental component of society development and simultaneously increase the socioeconomic level. The article specifies that green energy can be defined as a key element of the strategy for building an optimal configuration of a balanced system of correspondence between environmental and economic factors and the transition to sustainable development of society. It is determined that consideration of economic aspects and financial support, technical challenges, the role of government and public-private partnerships, as well as the impact on small and medium-sized enterprises provides a full range of information for understanding the ways of development of green energy in the economic and social contexts. Taking into account these aspects will allow us to build effective strategies for sustainable and balanced development of the green energy sector.
