“Green Economy”: Practical Vector of Sustainable Development of Russia[«Зеленая Экономика»: Практический Вектор Устойчивого Развития России]

The modern world is a world in which environmental and social aspects play the most significant role in comparison with revenue and profit. Sustainable development (from macroeconomic and microeconomic point of view) is not determined only by the level of economic benefits, but it is such a development which is impossible without social and environmental responsibility of the business, its partnership with the scientific and educational sector. This article outlines the basic solutions that can be used to provide environmentally responsible activities and development of Russian business and corporate structures. The main decisions that must be included in the national environmental policy as a major incentive for the further transition to a sustainable and “green economy” are considered in the article. “Green economy” is not only low carbon, but also environmentally friendly activities of business entities (corporate and business structures). The key aspects of the further development of the “green economy” in Russia can include scientific and practical basic solutions that provide active creation, implementation and use of “green technologies” to provide environmentally responsible sustainable socio-economic growth. At the same time the important tool here may be the transformation of environmental policy aimed at encouraging innovation entrepreneurship and ensuring reduction of anthropogenic and technogenic damage of the environment, natural resource management, as well as the reproduction of the natural capital.
