The problems of preserving the natural environment are relevant for unique natural complexes of territories, such as the Baikal region (Russia). There are few studies devoted to forecasting the green economic development of the eco-socio-economic system of the Baikal region. The previous studies are mainly dedicated to the theory of forming the green economy in the Baikal region. This study aimed to forecast and determine future trends in the Baikal region’s eco-socio-economic development based on the green economy. The methodological approach to assess the Baikal region development prospects is based on determining the factors affecting the relationship between various eco-socio-economic components using multiple regression models. We constructed the forecast using the artificial neural networks method, and we assessed the possible impact of anthropogenic factors on the Baikal region’s eco-socio-economic system in the future. Based on the obtained forecast, we proposed a mechanism for regulating the green economy formation in the region. The regional governments of the Baikal region should perform the management function. This requires establishing a special interregional Green Development Fund to restructure incoming public funds by redistributing financial flows from contaminating brown to green industries and develop a state program for the Green Development of the Baikal region. The constructed forecast is informational support for decision making for the long-term development of the economy during the transition to the green economy, the development and justification of program activities, and the future’s main strategic priorities.

Development is the eternal theme of the times. However, the transformation of the development mode is imminent, and we should abandon the extensive economic development mode and turn to the efficient development of an intensive mode. The high-tech industry will be the decisive force in future industrial development. The agglomeration of the industry will help form economies of scale, thereby improving the effective allocation of resources and promoting productivity. The increase in green economy efficiency is a key factor in achieving green development and an important indicator of achieving the coordinated development of economic development and environmental protection. Therefore, in this study, we try to improve the efficiency of the green economy through industrial agglomeration to achieve green development. In order to solve this problem, we took the Yangtze River Economic Belt as the research object, used Super Slacks-based Measure (SBM) data envelopment analysis (DEA) and general algebraic modeling system (GAMS) to study the green economy efficiency, and then used the system generalized moment method (SGMM) to study the impact of high-tech industry agglomeration on green economy efficiency. According to the empirical test, we found that (1) the green economy efficiency of the Yangtze River Economic Belt shows a volatile upward trend, (2) the green economy efficiency of the Yangtze River Economic Belt differs with time and by region, (3) the agglomeration of the high-tech industry has a lagging effect on the improvement of green economy efficiency, and (4) the regression coefficients of economic development and foreign direct investment are positive and those of environmental regulation and urbanization are negative. Finally, in this paper, we provide corresponding policy recommendations to promote the agglomeration of high-tech industries, thereby improving the efficiency of the green economy.

Singapore is located at the crossroads of sea routes. Two hundred years ago this tropical island was uninhabited, and only sixty years ago began its independent development. Over the past years, the country has experienced two industrial revolutions, a financial center of world importance was built, and the industrial structure was transformed into an innovative one. This happened with the active intervention of the state and control over financial flows aimed at technical re-equipment and innovative restructuring of both the entire economy in general and the seaport in particular. The “yesterday”, “today” and “tomorrow” of the seaport are closely related to the economic development of Singapore, with its development in the past, functioning in the present and preparing for future transformations.

The search for a methodological basis for economic development that meets the principles of sustainable development, and its transformation into real mechanisms of functioning of socio-economic systems, is an urgent problem of our time. Against this background, in less than 20 years, different concepts have been proclaimed as action programs for the economic development of nations: green, blue and circular economiсs. At the same time, the question about the interrelation of concepts of "green", "blue" and "circular" economics remains unresolved. Are these concepts complementary or alternative? Could they be implemented simultaneously? In what way they contribute to the goals of sustainable development? What is the ability of each of these concepts to put into practice progress towards sustainable development at different levels of socio-ecological and economic systems functioning? This study aims to answer these questions through the study, generalization and critical reflection of the research results of world and domestic scientists on the content and methodological principles that form the basis of green, blue and circular economics concepts. The main features, spheres, key accents and relations of these concepts are investigated in the article. The results of the analysis give grounds to conclude that with the change of "colors" of concepts aimed at ensuring the sustainable economic development, there is a transformation of understanding of the relationship between the economy and nature. There is a movement from an anthropocentrism, which, to some extent, formed the basis of a green economy built on the implementation of green technological solutions, to an understanding of the unity and interdependence of resource movements in the natural and economic system within a circular economy. A new vision of the socio-economic system, which operates on the basis of congruence with nature, changes the model based on human dominance. The proposed solutions are becoming more and more concrete – from the general policy guidelines within the Green Economy to specific mechanisms for the transformation of business models and the use of resources in a circular economics. This illustrates the paradigm shift of economic knowledge, its adaptation for sustainable resource management, policy making and support for institutional change and, in fact, gives reason to hope for the implementation of the idea of sustainable development, i.e. the harmonization of socio-economic processes within the natural constraints.

Abstract As part of the global course for sustainable development and the green economy, socio-economic processes are acquiring intellectual content. The purpose of this study is to form a methodology for assessing the level of intellectualization of the green economy. The author’s index GIEI has been formed in this research on the basis of selected indicators that reflect green policy, green intellectual capital and goals of the green economy. Within the index, there are three subindices, which are assigned weight coefficients, which were calculated based on the results of expert analysis. The results showed that the green policy has the greatest weight coefficient. The obtained index can be used to assess the level of intellectualization of the green economy of world countries and to provide a basis for further research on key elements of the world’s green policies to identify effective tools that can be used in the green development strategies of states.

Subject. To grow steadily and successfully, any economy should improve its mechanism for managing the socio-economic development, which should rely upon scientific approaches, methods and mechanisms. Objectives. The study is an attempt to outline the concept for developing the national economic system of innovation through investment engineering. Methods. The study is based on methods of generalization and systems analysis. Results. We propose a new concept for formulating the modern national system of innovation economics, which poses an investment project as the backbone constituent, being performed by diverse entities and organizations. The system raises the probability that comprehensive investment projects will be successfully implemented, including the reliability of mutual settlements for the sake of the ultimate economic effect. Conclusions and Relevance. The investment concept herein opens new opportunities for a new progressive strategy for the national economic development. Based on investment engineering principles, the economic system will carefully protect all types of property, effectively distribute the national property among federal, regional and local entities, and position regional and local budgets as a set of investment projects or the single investment program for the development of regions and country as a whole. The findings help implement new approaches to developing the national economic system of innovation, which will enhance the performance of manufacturing enterprises and public, collective and private entities. It will contribute to the transparency of financial flows in the non-public sector of economy and considerably curb the informal sector of economy.

The subject of this study is the principles, factors and features of the green economy as a complex multicomponent system. It was important to clarify the ontology of the term “development” and to propose a methodology for filling the meaning of this term with a specific scientific approach, which consisted in identifying factors that shape directed, natural (regular) and inevitable changes as mandatory elements of development in the philosophical sense of the latter. The article analyzes different approaches to the definition of green economy, which gave the authors a reason to propose their own perception of the green economy as a socio-eco-economic system, which should be simultaneous under directed, natural (regular) and inevitable changes to ensure its development. The authors dwelled on the characteristics of each of the three mandatory changes. Directed changes in the green economy as a system were considered through the prism of seventeen goals of sustainable development (defining those for which the green economy “works” directly), which form new requirements for key components of the economic system: production, exchange, distribution and consumption. Regular changes are characterized as those that correspond or do not contradict the basic economic laws of the post-industrial era and form the ecological basis for the competitiveness of the economy. Irreversibility of change is defined as justified regulatory measures of strict environmental and economic policy, based on the methodological, proven by scientists, the principle of regulation in a mixed economic system and the abandonment of free market mechanisms (which “does not work” to achieve sustainable development). The authors have proposed a system-hierarchical approach to ensuring intermediate principles of green economy development as a system (direction, regularity and irreversibility of changes) and their integral effect on the quality of sustainable development of the social system as a whole. Further directions of research of system principles of development of green economy have been defined as well.

Subject. The article focuses on the need to coordinate efforts stimulating the economic growth and environmental protection so as to drive the economic development without any losses and difficulties. Objectives. In the study, we examine the mechanism for the mutual impact of the economic growth in industries and the environmental protections so as to build the empirical basis for the reasonable natural protection policy. Methods. Theoretical projects are based on the analysis of economic literature and empirical studies on resources, environment and sustainable economic development in the existing theories of economic growth. Results. We substantiate and corroborate the assumption that the gist of green development implies the sustainable economic and social development driven by a concerted and sustainable economic and environmental growth. The understanding of natural environment should be totally revised so as to convey that the natural environment is not a resource that can be consumed eternally, but does have its own limits. Conclusions and Relevance. In the future, Russia’s economy should rely upon the sustainable development model, where the green constituent will dictate a new strategy underlying the national economic growth and advancement.

This article explores how Mozambique's green economy has been produced through the intersection of global ideas about green development, regional economic development dynamics, and local debates and political pressures around extraction and conservation. Mozambique's green economy aims to compress many of its current challenges into a seemingly attractive and compelling agenda. The green economy discourse has produced a new relationship between the conservation and extractives sector, characterized by 'green' financing and offsetting measures intended to handle (at least on paper) the contradictions between extractives-led growth and sustainable development. However, the green economy vision has also provided specific actors with ways to contest extraction. The article provides a lens onto the production of green economy policies and institutions in Mozambique, the way the policy combines neoliberal and non-neoliberal political ideas, and how green economy ideas are played out in the situated politics of debates over conservation and extraction. I consider how 'the' green economy is reworked through tracing a particular case – the recent debates over whether a large coal port should be built in the Ponta do Ouro Marine Reserve. This foregrounds the multiple and often ambiguous uses of green economy discourses to pursue different, and sometimes contradictory agendas. The article contributes new empirical information on the roll-out of green economies in a developing country context, while also seeking to expand current political ecology literature on neoliberalism and green economies more generally.Key words: Mozambique, green economy, neoliberal nature, extractives, conservation, assemblage


The concept of green growth assumes centrality of socio-economic inclusiveness towards sustainable development in India. Inclusive green growth currently is a development strategy, which included both economic growth in addition to sustainable development. In India, for instance, growth in addition to development is said to have always existed a part of the planning process.The study makes a descriptive analysis based on the available data. It highlights the present status of India exists comparisons with other emerging countries. While acknowledging the importance of development strategies to adopt the principles of green economy in tune with stage of economic development, the study points out the critical gaps in addition to problems faced by India just as well as their possible solutions.

Environmental regulation and technological innovation play important strategic roles in green growth, and the three systems interact and influence each other. Herein, we used a comprehensive development level evaluation model for calculating the environmental regulation and technological innovation indices for 17 cities in Shandong Province. We used the slack-based measure-data envelopment analysis (SBM-DEA) model to measure green development efficiency. The coupling coordination degree model was used to determine the coordination of environmental regulation, technological innovation, and green development; we divided the cities into three systems: green economy lagging, environmental regulation lagging, and technological innovation lagging. We used grey correlation analysis to explore the factors affecting system development. Eastern coastal cities were better developed in the three systems and the degree of coupling and coordination, like Qingdao and Weihai, and the observed level of technological innovation development, a critical factor in the coordinated development of cities, was lowest in Shandong Province. The grey correlation analysis illustrated that the level of economic development and the level of foreign economic development impacts cities labeled green economy lagging; the impact of pollutant emissions is greater than pollution control expenditure in environmental regulation lagging cities; and the government’s attention and the cultivation and attraction of talent are foundational for technological innovation in lagging cities. Considering these factors, we make recommendations for the optimal development of cities and coordinated development of regions.
