CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE GREEN AGENDA
https://doi.org/10.48137/26870703_2023_24_4_119
Abstract
Solving environmental problems has been one of the most urgent tasks for both the scientific community and the world’s population in recent decades. Carbon emissions lead to climate change, which, along with environmental pollution, reduces biodiversity, leads to degradation of water and soil. The article discusses theoretical approaches to the green agenda and the resulting practical recommendations on regulating the activities of economic entities. Special attention is paid to the relationship between developed and developing countries, between which the environmental burden is distributed unevenly. Authors also propose ways of economic development aimed at increasing the welfare of the population and reducing the burden on the environment.
