Full textAbstract:
The article substantiates that in order to ensure the effective development of economic systems, the issues of rational use of natural resources and environmental safety are significant. Environmental problems for modern economies of the world are systematized. The aim of the research is to study the theoretical and practical experience in the formation of an inclusive society and the “green” economy of the regions in the Republic of Belarus based on the analysis of the mechanism for introducing circular technologies at the micro level, schemes for engaging vulnerable groups of the population, creating “green” jobs, creating courses on the principles of inclusion economy in the workplaces. The following tasks were set and resolved: the mechanism for the formation of the inclusive society and the “green” economy in the Republic of Belarus was identified through the introduction of circular technologies at the micro level; considered the features of involvement in employment of vulnerable groups of the population; identified and systematized features of creating “green” workplaces; specificity of courses for on-the-job training on the principles of inclusion and “green” economy is grounded. The research methodology is based on the principles of systems analysis, formal logic and an interdisciplinary scientific approach. Monographic and descriptive method was used in the formation of theoretical and practical basis for development an inclusive society with elements of the “green” economy; method of analysis and synthesis, method of statistical data analysis in the short-term analysis. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that the theoretical and practical foundations for building the inclusive society through the tools of the “green” economy and education have been studied and scientifically grounded. The conclusions are that the creation of “green” jobs, learning the principles of a “green” economy, as well as the implementation of other measures to ensure the sustainable development are necessary. And development of inclusive society and “green” economy depend on ability of government and firms to teach their basic principles and create inclusive and “green” workplaces and jobs. As recommendations it is proposed to involve older labor resources in employment, taking into account coordination of the vocational qualification structure of labor supply and technical and technological parameters of workplaces; to assess development of the international labor market and sustainable development of the labor market with created by authors list of indicators; to develop an electronic web resource with information about the skills of the workforce, indicating the geography of workplaces and schemes for building up the necessary skills contributes to the advance preparation of the workforce; and to organize and conduct courses for employers and employees in the field of inclusive development and “green” jobs.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efforts of Durban University of Technology to provide a more inclusive education for the transition towards an economic and sustainable environment. The paper is centred on assessing the current general education programme implemented by Durban University of Technology by exploring the general education environmental knowledge domains. In 2009, the Durban University of Technology Senate accepted the general education guidelines for curriculum renewal and stipulated the aims of general education as building a student-centeredness experience, preparing students for the complex and changing globalized environment and to cultivate responsible citizenship. Documentary analysis was undertaken to assess the graduate attributes and its incorporation into the general education modules. The general education policy documents, thematic clustering, module descriptors and study guides were inspected to establish the scope of the knowledge that would aid students to engage in a transitional and transformational world. The study findings highlighted that while the general education modules related to environmental sustainability, there was little evidence of the green economy being included in the general education curricula. DUT needs to progress towards becoming a sustainable university to enrich the students’ experiences in education in sustainable development (ESD) through committed leadership, being lecturer focused and developing a participatory monitoring and evaluation system for ESD. The study is of value to higher education and governmental institutions engaged in transformative learning and education policy development in environmental management and green economy.

Full textAbstract:
The green growth or green economy concept presents opportunities for more inclusive growth while protecting the environment. Malaysia has experienced rapid economic growth with gross domestic product annual growth rate averaged 4.1% over the period of 2004-2013. However, the rapid economic development may lead to declining focus on social equality. In Malaysia, although poverty has been reduced in trend, it is still a challenging issue, especially in rural areas. Greening the economy could integrate the social equality, as a pillar of sustainable development, with economic and environmental priorities. Indeed, it may improve the human well-being while significantly reducing environmental scarcity. A green economy could help to indicate the value of natural capital as a provider of human well being and a source of new jobs. This paper attempts to discuss on how green economy could improve the livelihood security and poverty eradication in Malaysia. It also seeks to understand what a socially transition to a green economy may look like and key interventions needed to achieve it.

This study investigates how increasing economic development affects the green economy in terms of CO2 emissions, using data from 44 countries in the sub-Saharan Africa for the period 2000–2012. The Generalized Method of Moments is used for the empirical analysis. The following main findings are established. First, relative to CO2 emissions, enhancing economic growth and population growth engenders a U-shaped pattern whereas increasing inclusive human development shows a Kuznets curve. Second, increasing gross domestic product growth beyond 25% of annual growth is unfavorable for a green economy. Third, a population growth rate of above 3.089% (i.e. annual %) has a positive effect of CO2 emissions. Fourth, an inequality-adjusted human development index of above 0.4969 is beneficial for a green economy because it is associated with a reduction in CO2 emissions. The established critical masses have policy relevance because they are situated within the policy ranges of adopted economic development dynamics.

Full textAbstract:
The European Green Deal (EGD), launched by the European Commission in December 2019, is a major policy package addressing climate change and aiming at a “just and inclusive” transition. Several shortcomings can be identified in the EGD: it lacks a vision of a just, post-carbon economy for Europe; available resources are inadequate to reach stated objectives; and implementation tools are limited. We argue that making Europe’s production systems carbon neutral would require a broader range of “green” industrial policies that need to jointly address environmental sustainability, structural change, and fairness of economic outcomes in Europe.

Full textAbstract:
Focusing on the Asia-Pacific region and the concept of inclusive green growth, this paper designs a four-dimensional analysis framework of economic prosperity, social inclusion, resource utilization, and environmental sustainability. It constructs a scientific and reasonable inclusive green growth indicator system for the Asia-Pacific region. In order to make the research results more robust, the research method mainly uses factor analysis, supplemented by clustering method and entropy method to evaluate and cross-validate the inclusive green growth level of 37 countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region. The study finds that the level of inclusive green growth in the Asia-Pacific region is highly affected by the country’s economic development level. The latent heterogeneity in the distinct development stages of various countries explains why the in-region countries differ vastly regarding their inclusive green development levels. The inclusive green growth indicator system integrates the availability, accuracy, and standardization of data in selecting indicators, making the measurement results more referentially valuable. It helps grasp the actual state of inclusive green growth in the Asia-Pacific region. The paper summarizes the policy suggestions to promote inclusive green growth in the Asia-Pacific region, involving accelerating economic development and institutional improvement, and reinforcing regional cooperation in the Asia-Pacific area for elevating the overall regional inclusive green transformation.

Full textAbstract:
Inclusive Green Growth is a sustainable development mode that pays attention to the coordinated growth of the economy, society, and ecology. With the intensification of the contradiction between fiscal revenue and expenditure, adopting the goal of adjusting the fiscal expenditure structure is conducive to improving the efficiency of fiscal funds. This paper establishes a theoretical model of the efficiency of the fiscal expenditure structure under the goal of Inclusive Green Growth, and on this basis, it constructs an index system of Inclusive Green Growth. Then, it applies a DEA-Malmquist model to analyze the efficiency of the fiscal expenditure structure. The results show that from 2007 to 2018, the growth rate of Inclusive Green Growth index showed a downward trend, which was mainly due to the decline in the growth rate of economic development. It rebounded after 2016, and the growth of the inclusiveness level played a major role. In time and space, the development resources tend to the unbalanced development trend of the eastern region; the average total factor productivity of the fiscal expenditure structure in space is the lowest in the east. The fiscal expenditure should be inclined to social expenditure and green expenditure, the western region should be inclined to economic expenditure, and the allocation of the expenditure structure in the central region should imitate the high-efficiency areas. In order to achieve the comprehensive development goal, this paper provides an analytical idea for the adjustment of the fiscal expenditure structure.

Kazakhstan has a huge potential for the use of renewable energy sources, while being the state with the highest rates of greenhouse gas emissions in Central Asia. Despite significant economic, social and environmental benefits, the share of renewable energy in Kazakhstan's electricity production remains low, at 1.1% in 2017. The government intends to increase this figure to 50% by 2050. While Kazakhstan is experiencing some difficulties in diversifying its economy and energy resources, the inclusive concept of green growth is particularly important for the country.The adopted Strategy Kazakhstan 2050: A New Political Course of the Established State «Strategy - 2050» sets clear guidelines for building a sustainable and efficient economic model based on the country’s transition to a green development path.The article analyzes the current status of the transition to «green economy» including the development of renewable energy, green building, environmentally friendly transport, waste management, sustainable and efficient organic agriculture, and rational use of water resources. The scientific article focuses on the key risks, problems and obstacles to the development of the «green economy» in Kazakhstan, as well as offers recommendations and measures to solve existing problems. In addition, the article examines the methods of the government's transition to a «green economy», within which the planned tasks of a large-scale transition to a «green economy» are to be fulfilled.The article can be useful for those who are interested in sustainable economic growth: the government, energy companies, investors in the field of renewable energy and society as a whole.

The world's leaders, business leaders and the public at large are beginning to question, amidst the multiple social, environmental and economic crises, whether our present trajectory of economic growth is sustainable. We seem to force ourselves to believe that we can grow ourselves out of the multiple crises we face today. The notion of sustainable development and the call for going beyond just material wealth to gauge our wellbeing has long featured in much of the sustainable development, environmental and ecological economics literature. We are afraid the present preoccupation with the green economy will not provide the change we are looking for if we don't address the fundamental problem of what we are aiming to achieve and how we measure our progress towards achieving those goals. We fall into the trap many international agencies have made over the past six decades, where the means become the ends and the ends become an academic exercise (Chang, 2001).

Full textAbstract:
Inclusive green growth is a sustainable development mode in pursuit of economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection. At present, a large number of articles have discussed the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth, green growth, and inclusive growth. However, the research about inclusive green growth is mainly descriptive. This paper constructs China’s inclusive green growth index and analyzes the impact of FDI on inclusive green growth in China. Specifically, by constructing a super efficiency slacks-based measure model (which has two undesirable outputs: income disparity and environmental pollution) to calculate the Inclusive green growth index, this paper compares and analyses the differences and regional characteristics of China’s total factor productivity, inclusive total factor productivity, green total factor productivity, and inclusive green total factor productivity. We find that total factor productivity is decreasing after considering undesirable output, and the traditional total factor productivity is higher than the inclusive green total factor productivity by 0.112; at the regional level, the trend of the total factor productivity is gradually decreasing from east to west, which indicates that there are regional differences in inclusive green growth of China, and there is room for improvement. Meanwhile, we construct a panel vector autoregressive model (PVAR) and use generalized impulse response function and variance decomposition to analyse the influence of FDI on China’s inclusive green total factor productivity. The results show that FDI is beneficial to the promotion of inclusive green total factor productivity in China, and environmental pollution in the FDI process is an important factor hindering the inclusive green total factor productivity.

Topicality. The guiding vision of a stable market economy in Ukraine is accelerating the transition to the introduction of the principle of inclusiveness in market conditions, which, in the context of broadening the overall employment of the population, is an increase in access to education, entrepreneurship, services for young people, women, people in less developed regions and those with disabilities. Implementation of the country's strategic priorities for the transition to sustainable development should take place by ensuring inclusiveness, in particular through agricultural land use. An important task of promoting the principles of inclusiveness is to assess its impact on specific target groups.The introduction of inclusiveness in terms of economic development has a long-term perspective, covering social interests and the rational use of resources. The main focus is on productive employment as a means of reducing the stratification of society by income and raising the standard of living of less well-off people.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to analyze the definition of the inclusiveness of nature use as an economic category in the context of land use, namely the development of inclusive activity. Disclosure of the characteristics of the inclusive approach to land use and outline its benefits. Formulation of the intrinsic features and objectives of the inclusive economy, in particular inclusive agricultural land use. Justification of the scientific principles of the implementation of the principles of organizing the inclusion of land use in agricultural activities.Research results. The concept of inclusiveness in the context of nature use in generalized form and in accordance with land use is developed in the part of expanding the attraction of as many members of society as possible. Improved conceptual-categorical apparatus of the study of "inclusiveness", in particular inclusive growth, inclusive economy, inclusive activity in the context of land use, inclusive ecological agriculture. The relationship between these categories is determined. Formed general scientific principles of inclusive development, principles of inclusive agricultural land use: systematic and complex, adequacy and flexibility, objectivity and accuracy, efficiency, purposefulness, scientific, priority of economic interests of the state. The principles of inclusive agricultural land use are determined on the basis of generally accepted conditions that form the basis of inclusive development and determine its directions and priorities. The advantages of creating ecologically clean lands and conducting ecologically oriented agriculture as one of the directions of development of inclusive nature management in Ukraine are grounded.Conclusion. It is substantiated that, despite a number of literature and discussion of this topic, there is no single definition of the concept of inclusive growth. In the article the genesis of inclusiveness is investigated and the preconditions of the emergence of "inclusive economy" are determined. It is determined that the basic principles under the influence of which the concept of "inclusiveness" was formed are from the theoretical and methodological foundations of sustainable development, "green economy", social economy, and innovation economics. The market component of inclusive land use has been identified and theoretically grounded, which is to involve individual and individual peasant farms in order to organize activities and processes of rational land use, which includes individuals from all walks of life and psychophysical possibilities, through the expansion of: access to land resources; possibilities of land use grouping; the availability of special technical equipment for all individuals; opportunities for obtaining or improving qualifications in the field of ecologically oriented agriculture.

Summary: Development banks are there for good times as well as bad times. They promote structural changes in economies, addressing longer-term challenges. They complement financial systems, helping to improve the functioning of banking and financial markets and bolstering economic resilience. They mitigate market failure, but can also help to identify it, contributing to the design of effective policy. Moreover, development banks can help to create and shape markets, such as the green bonds market. In doing so, they catalyse structural economic transformation and spur investment-led growth. For the post-Covid-19 world, Europe needs structural transformation to address the challenges of rapid technological change and stiffer global competition, growing threats to social cohesion and, not least, climate change. In this article, with a focus on the role of the EIB, we discuss three main questions: What is the rationale for development banks? What is the EIB’s unique position within the European development banking landscape? And how is the EIB helping to address the key challenges that Europe is currently facing, boosting recovery from the historic Covid-19 shock to create a more competitive, inclusive and greener economy in Europe?

Full textAbstract:
The paper outlines the leading theories and concepts in categorizing the concept of green economy. The idea of an environmental friendliness, competitive, green economy is interpreted as contributing to sustainable development and effectively use of resources. Green economy helps solving problems of the slowdown in economic growth and job losses, as well as the continued deterioration of environmental quality and ecosystem degradation. All this defines the green economy as an approach to achieving sustainable development. Economic growth measured by the size of the gross national / social product cannot continue to be used without the appearance of environmental problems. he green economy has become one of the pillars of major international and European strategies and is being considered as an approach leading to a structural transformation of the economy.The results of the Green Economy research distinguishnine strategic areas: sustainable consumption and production through responsible consumers and producers; knowledge society through information development and training; government to help adapting to new business realities; climate change and energy; sustainable transport and mobility; conservation and sustainable management of biodiversity and natural resources; public health and risk prevention with an emphasis on environmental quality; demography and migration and social inclusion; challenges in the field of sustainable development; global poverty reduction.The theme of green economy is more and more relevant for Bulgaria, it is constantly being discussed and there is an increasing awareness of the importance of this transition to a green economy, which is associated with the high price that a society has to pay. But this is the only way our generationto take care of the coming generations and thus conserve the planet's resources.

A strong indigenous capacity for credible, salient and legitimate knowledge production is crucial to support African countries in developing their economies and societies inclusively and sustainably. In this article, we aim to quantify the current and historic capacity for African knowledge production to support the green economy in Africa, and identify important topical gaps. With a focus on topics relating to Governing Inclusive Green Growth in Africa (GIGGA), our research mapped how much Africa-focused research is being produced, from where and which African countries have higher or lower supply; and the topical focus of the research, mapping it against the African GIGGA policy discourses visible in government strategies. To do this we undertook a systematic review using a two-stage process, mapping the literature for GIGGA. This resulted in 960 verified citations. Content analysis of core metadata and article abstracts enabled mapping of the research focus. The analysis revealed a significant role for South Africa as both the pre-eminent producer of GIGGA literature as well as the geographic focus of GIGGA research, with Nigeria, Ethiopia and Kenya representing emerging loci of credible, African-relevant knowledge production. Topically, there was a strong emphasis on development, policy and environment while topics important for growth that is inclusive in character were infrequent or absent. Overall the results reinforced the view that investment is needed in research on inclusive green growth, linked to capacity building for knowledge production systems in Africa. Furthermore, from a policy perspective, policy makers and academics need to actively explore best to collaborate to ensure that academic research informs government policy.

The strategic documents of the state provide for inclusive and green growth aimed at the inclusion of society in the development of the state. It causes the need to highlight the main components of growth and guidelines for their calculation. The international community moved away from using the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a measure of economic development, and started measuring growth by calculating the Inclusive Development Index. The study conducted in the article is concentrated on the main directions of the international community development, which focus on assessment of the mineral resource management as one of the levers of increasing the production efficiency and taxes distribution. This article suggests to improve the rent payments for the minerals extraction through a correction factor, since the Tax Code of Ukraine does not take into account the multifunctionality of the territory where these resources are mined. The coefficient is estimated to vary from 1.25 to 2.0, depending on the polyfunctional characteristics of the mining area. This approach will improve existing methodological recommendations and include such an important area as inclusive green growth in the calculations, as not only the economic indicators of economic activity, but also the environmental feasibility of using the territory where it is carried out will be taken into account.

Green businesses are enterprises which consider environmental protection as an essential component for their long-term business objectives, both by promoting eco-efficient production activities and by marketing sustainable products and services (Barnes, n.d.). Green products may be defined as products or services that have a lesser or reduced bad effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose (Website). The purposed of green business are (i) to promote more socially inclusive development (ii) to reduce environmental degradation (iii) to mitigate the effects of climate change (iv) to deal with pressures of population growth (v) to manage, issues of increased scarcity and volatile prices of raw materials effectively. Examples of green product are compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), which use 75% less energy than ordinary incandescent ones, organic foods, which are grown and processed without antibiotics, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers, hybrid electric vehicles such as the Toyota Prius, which achieves a fuel economy of 48 city-mpg and 45 highway-mpg (Website)., and green hotels, which are trying to conserve water, energy, and materials usage (Sharkey, 2008). Green business in practically existent everywhere around us. Company such as Wal-mart and General Electric transforming their business practices into green ones (Yeganeh & Glavas, 2008). In a study conducted by MeKinsey of 4,238 business executives in 116 countries, 84% believed that business should contribute to the public good; however, only 3% believe that their companies are currently doing a good job (McKinsey, 2006). Thus, green business is an enterprise that has no negative impact on the (i) environment (ii) economy (iii) society (iv) community. Further, it meets the requirement of the triple bottom line such as financial benefits of the company, natural world betterment and social advantages for employees and members of the local community. The triple bottom line gives importance on initial value instead of the after effects.

Inclusive farming (INCLUFAR) - Transfer of concepts, experiences, skills, and training tools for social farming and eco-social inclusion is an innovation transfer project within the Lifelong Learning Leonardo da Vinci funding scheme of the EU. The results were gathered during the project period from October 2013 until September 2015. Why INCLUFAR? First, Finland signed the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities and is presently adjusting the legislation accordingly. Second, the results of the public consultation on the review of the EU-policy on organic agriculture conducted by the directorate general for agriculture and rural development in 2013 shows that economic and social dimension have the highest priority. Third, social farming and green care enterprises put the multifunctionality demand of policy makers into practice. Because green care enterprises emerged in the past decade rapidly, there is a lack of qualified staff specialised on both agriculture and social work related professions. The results of the past EU funded green care projects SoFar, DIANA, MAIE, and others reflect this fact addressing development of appropriate VET curricula as a concern. INCLUFAR meets the need for appropriate curricula suitable for social farming and green care enterprises which link care for both, individuals with special needs and for nature in organic farms. IN-CLUFAR transferred a new on-farm developed curriculum and the gathered experiences with it to green care enterprises and to related institutions following the principal of inclusion. As a result better labour opportunities emerge, fostering rural economic development. Exploiting the specific agricultural work and life-setting may improve social welfare structure in rural areas. Outcomes of the project are: 1. The INCLUFAR handbook, providing background knowledge of and concepts for inclusive farming. 2. The INCLUFAR curriculum, available in all partner country languages. 3. An occupational profile to meet the practical steps implementing the INCLUFAR idea. The skills gathered in the partner countries through coaching team visits to Austria, Bulgaria, Esto-nia, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, and Turkey contributed to improve the quality of work on farm as well as on the rural area and its different professions (farmers, gardeners, handicrafts, nurses, social workers, civil servants, students, scientists, decision makers of public authorities, etc.). The term inclusion, as a central concern in the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities was also applied to improve the cultural landscape and its biotopes. Thus, the project contributed to improve and support the training path aims of creating a greater awareness of social and ecological inclusion.1

Full textAbstract:
Competitive and productive Special Economic Zones (SEZs)/ industrial Parks (IPs) of the future will be those that will abandon the wasteful linear development model and instead embrace a circular economy that is characterized with the circular flow of materials and energy. Doing this will not only lower pressure on the use of the country’s virgin raw materials but also contribute to the reduced carbon footprint of the SEZs/IPs by helping to divert wastes from the landfill. This paper investigated the spontaneous evolution of waste and by-product exchange at the agro-processing and garment clusters of the Athi River SEZ. These cluster based material exchanges evolved on their own largely as a result of the prevailing forces of material supply and demand. Though at its infancy, this emergency of industrial symbiosis at the economic zone has helped to demonstrate the social inclusion dimension of green growth through the creation of decent green jobs. The practice has also enabled participating firms to reduce their GHG emissions and lower their operational costs. The economic zone’s desire to fully embrace waste recovery, reuse and recycling as part of its deliberate efforts of advancing the ideals of a circular economy is currently being hampered by a lack of functional waste recovery, reuse, and recycling infrastructure. The proposed strengthening of University-Industry-Government (U-I-G) collaboration at the Athi River SEZ, will help promote eco-innovation that forms the cornerstone of the economic zone’s improved productivity and competitiveness. The paper sought to unravel the enabling policy interventions that need to be put in place so as to accelerate the transformation of the country’s economic zones into environmentally friendly Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs) capable of attracting green foreign direct investments (FDIs). It also tackled the barriers that need to be overcome by key stakeholders so that the country’s SEZs/ IPs can adopt a development trajectory that enjoys low-emission levels, efficiently uses its resources, and is socially inclusive through the creation of decent green jobs.

Full textAbstract:
The subject literature provides knowledge about various contemporary concepts of urban development, emphasizing a variety of goals and priorities of this process. Although sustainability should be a key objective of development policy, the methods of achieving it seem to be diverse. As a result, there are many theories describing development processes on a local scale, but there are no scientific attempts to summarise them or to comprehensively evaluate them. In the presented article such an attempt was initiated – the evolution of the concept of sustainable development in the context of transformation of the role of man in socio-economic and political processes from homo-oeconomicus to homo cooperativus was outlined and the assumptions of contemporary concepts of urban development (smart city, eco city and compact city) were identified and evaluated in terms of their cohesion and implementation of sustainable development principles. On this basis, a conceptual framework for an inclusive urban development model was defined, considering their key values in a synergic way.

Green economy is a tool aiming at the development of society; prosperity without draining resources; and return on investment without neglecting the protection of the environment, long-term economic growth, social inclusion, and institutional action towards human well-being. The ecological, economic, social, and institutional dimensions demand ecosystem services, economic resources, social participation, and adaptive management to bring about a healthy and equitable environment, economic progress, prosperity and equitable social opportunity, and participatory governance contributing to well-being. This work presents a proposal for the assessment of sustainability through the acknowledgment of its multidimensional nature and the interrelations among such dimensions, with the purpose of enabling its application to different production systems based on the resilience of socioecological systems in the geographical area and temporal frame in which they are embedded.

Full textAbstract:
The author outlines the role of environmental or “green” taxes that are less burdensome for the economy than taxes on salaries or income taxes, with the description of the best examples of the 1990s (Sweden, the Netherlands). The importance of Ex'tax and smart approach to the tax shift, which creates incentives for saving natural resources and outputting materials in a closed loop, are singled out. Reduction of taxes for labor leads to employment increase. Business models, in their turn, will focus on the wise use of resources, that is, they will become circularly oriented. It is investigated that the lowest taxes were introduced in Ireland, Romania, Cyprus, Poland. The highest taxes were in Austria, Belgium, and Sweden in 2016. Environmental taxes are the lowest in Luxembourg, Ireland, Germany and the Czech Republic, and the highest ones are in Denmark and Greece. It is proved that with the help of “tax shift” and mechanisms of circular economy an inclusive society is formed. According to the results of the analysis, it is possible to identify the countries in which this “tax shift” has already taken place. They are Lithuania, Romania, Slovenia and the United Kingdom. That is, from 2006 to 2016, these countries offer inclusive and circular business models that become the rule for their economy. After all, the corresponding tax shift is a key element for the disclosure of the social force of the circular economy. The concept of Cradle to Cradle is described in the article. It offers a truly viable alternative to the “development or conservation” dilemma, since it can contribute to the improvement of the natural ecosystem and at the same time promotes human social justice, that is, it forms an inclusive society in a global dimension. The circular production system is based on this concept. There are 3 basic benchmarks for the circular economy 2.0: inclusiveness of the population; formation of human value; the well-being of people. Inclusive circular models are outlined using Pay-As-They-Need, Pay-As-They-Grow, Paid-As-They-Care.

The Europe 2020 Strategy is aimed at making the EU into a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy by 2020. This Strategy has to promote environmental policies and economic opportunities. Back in 2007 Italy was performing slightly below average and way below the most advanced EU Member States as far as percentage of green energy of the total energy produced in Italy. Measures were taken and though the Italian regulation around green energies has been hectic though effective. Italian legislation recently passed will put emphasis on the relevance of a Green Power strategy by guarantying an attractive minimum price per Kw produced through clean and environmental friendly sources, notably from Wind energy sources. Within the sector a new area is grafting attention: the mini wind farms. The Trentino Alto Adige region in Northern Italy has taken particularly profit of the national legal framework and has develop a further regional frame that has placed the region on top of the Italian green energy production charts.

Topicality. In the context of the worsening of environmental and food problem, the issue of implementation of environmentalization of land use on the basis of the priorities of the "green growth" of Ukraine through the creation and enlargement of ecologically clean lands as a component of the natural resource potential of the country becomes relevant.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the study is to develop organizational and economic mechanisms for stimulating and implementing the process of land use ecologization on the basis of the priorities of the "green growth" of Ukraine.Research results. The preconditions, motives and peculiarities of organizational and economic mechanisms of stimulation for implementation of the process of forming ecologically clean lands on the basis of the priorities of "green growth" of Ukraine are presented. The provisions and presented solutions of existing gaps in the legal basis of domestic legislation are analyzed. The institutional and functional support of the authorities on the formation of ecologically clean lands was investigated, new functions of the authorities in the context of their powers were proposed. The mechanism of interaction between stakeholders in the field of the formation of environmentally clean lands in the conditions of decentralization is developed. The principles of stimulating the development of ecologically clean territories have been developed. The author's definition of the mechanism of "green inclusive" development of ecologically clean territories is given, the goal, tasks at all levels, the necessary measures and effects from the implementation are defined.Conclusion. The main purpose of the current stage of land reform is to strengthen the stimulating and regulatory function of the economic mechanism of agrarian land use, the main components of which are rental relations, economic evaluation of land, land payment, increase of its efficiency and transition to an ecologically oriented model of land use. The new land use model needs to take into account the integral potential of the territory, conservation, rational use and reproduction of all resources in the corresponding area. Particular attention is required to develop an organizational and economic mechanism in the interaction of stakeholders in the field of the formation of ecoogically clean lands in the context of the features and priorities of "green inclusive growth" of the Ukrainian economy. The greatest effectiveness and flexibility of environmental regulation is achieved by using multiple mechanisms as an integrated system.

Hospitality and tourism of India has emerged as one of the key service sectors leveraging country's economy to a greater extent and have led the way for development. The inclusive development has called for sustainability and concern for environment which are need of this hour. As both these two sectors are more resource intensive industry, hence the concept of sustainability, environment and "green" needs to be deliberated from many points of view. The hospitality and tourism industry has substantially contributed socioeconomically , but not so much environmentally. In the present scenario , green is the new buzzword and talk of the town, and the hospitality industry has embraced this phenomenal marketing strategy called 'green marketing' as a responsible step towards to the sustainability. In this paper a sincere attempt has been made to unfold the concept, significance and necessity of green marketing in Indian hospitality and tourism industry, also has tried to explore the issues & challenges of practices during its successful implementation.

Full textAbstract:
The transition to sustainable urban development requires both appropriate city management and local authorities that are aware of the implications posed by new urban sustainability challenges. The article aims to identify the priority policy/practice areas and interventions to solve sustainability challenges in Polish municipalities, as well as the factors that differentiate these priorities. Through an online questionnaire we surveyed 460 Polish municipalities, and conducted a multidimensional assessment concerning how mayors (and their executive teams) prioritise possible policy/practice areas and interventions related to sustainability. Our analysis implies that the mayors (and their executive teams) assign higher priority to policy/practice areas and interventions related to economic and social domains, and slightly lower priority to environmental ones. However, an important finding is that the priority policy/practice areas and interventions do not correspond well to some of the contemporary sustainability challenges in Polish cities. Effectively tackling urban environmental, economic and social problems would require the implementation of new approaches related to smart cities, the circular economy and/or cultural diversity. However, these less traditional policy/practice areas and interventions are quite low on the priority list of Polish mayors and their executive teams. Interestingly mayors and executive teams that prefer more participatory and solidarity-based management approaches are more likely to prioritise less traditional policy/practice areas and interventions to solve urban sustainability challenges in their municipalities.

Preserving natural capital is important topic in 21st century in order to ensure prosperity by sustaining qualitative ecosystem services that are both - non-material and material benefits provided by nature. As research outlines, green economy is based on three pillars of sustainable development - social, economic and environmental. It was concluded, that the main principles of the green economy are sustainable development, which stimulates economic growth, reduces poverty, while placing natural capital as a major asset; development adapted to the interests and opportunities of each country, regions and local areas ensuring participation of the population, social inclusion; promotion of green industries (renewable energy, waste management, sustainable agriculture); efficient use of natural resources. Research paper analyses the current situation and future potential of Latvia in the implementation of the green economy, taking as the example evaluation of the situation in the Rezekne Municipality. Research methods such as logical constructive method, document analysis, and interviews were used to gather, analyse and reflect information which was then used to create evaluation model that was used in the focus group to assess weaknesses and potential of Rezekne Municipality, for example, potential in the production of gas from waste. Also important is education of society and their involvement in non-governmental organizations, and the development of the greener way of thinking, where there are noticeable weaknesses. It is possible to take direct examples from other countries (case studies from Finland, France, Lithuania, and Great Britain) that already have experience and real results.

Topicality. This is based on the importance of coordinating national and regional socio-economic policy with a recognition of the need for “green” growth and an assessment of government policy measures based on the application of multi-regional modeling methodology to analyze the effects of public policy in a regional context, and on medium-term forecasting of a country's sustainable socio-economic development.Aim and tasks. The aim of the study is to improve the scientific validity of methodology for medium-term forecasting of the main parameters of a country's socio-economic development in terms of individual regions by aligning the objectives and priorities of public policy. The objective is to develop, based on a review of international literature, methodological approaches for obtaining coherent medium-term forecast estimates of major groups of territorial economic, social and environmental indicators, based on modern methodologies for measuring the targeted effects of improving living standards, “green” growth, and overall competitiveness of the national economy in its spatial dimension.
Research results. The results of the research are based on a review of international literature and the justification for methodology to apply modern multi-regional models for the assessment of the effects of interconnected economic, social and environmental policies in the analysis of interactions between national and regional factors of sustainable economic growth, regional disparities, and strengthening of national competitiveness.
Conclusion. Modern multi-regional models for medium-term forecasting have passed several stages of development, and have incorporated into them theories of the regional economy and the mathematical tools for socio-economic systems modeling. The most effective current policy application is in the practice of recent EU regional policy. Methodology for application of complex multi-regional models has to be flexible, with the application of complementary modeling tools, and providing for further development of model modules to describe the mutual interaction of national and regional factors of sustainable economic growth, including indicators for “green” investment. A number of specific modeling tools (special engineering simulation models, GIS-based models) are usedto assess environmental parameters of spatial development. Our research proposes to incorporate the main indicators of “green” growth into national and regional blocks of multi-regional models, starting with the simplest options such as small econometric models of partial equilibrium, into which - based on a specially conducted analysis - the most significant factors of sustainable economic growth and exogenous parameters of public policy are included. A special place is given to testing the effectiveness of “green” economy measures.

Green roofs and walls are one of the most promising alternatives for retrofitting existing built environments and tackle urban challenges in a multifunctional way. Yet, these solutions are being confined to specific countries or cities, as their economic contribution has not been fully examined nor accepted. GENESIS is a trans-disciplinary project funded by FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia that will develop a systematic and comprehensive model to support potential investors or decision-makers, balancing the costs with the benefits of green roofs and walls in a life cycle perspective. The main objective of the project is to enhance existing cost-benefit analysis of green roofs and walls through a multidisciplinary approach that will allow the replication in different regions and type of infrastructures. This will be achieved by: i) monetizing and including all economic, social and environmental benefits in the analysis in order to weight different types of benefits (even those that are typically difficult to estimate because they have no market value) and establish a comparative basis of alternative solutions and potential scenarios; ii) comprising an uncertainty model to cope with climate change and inaccurate forecasting of benefits/costs modelling and; iii) including multi-criteria mode in order to incorporate users and investors preferences. This all-inclusive model crucial for a wide spreading in is green roofs and walls and a more sustainable development in cities.

Green industry evaluation is a necessary part in the development of low-carbon economy and achieve sustainable development in the economic, social and ecological environment. Establishing a system of reasonable indicators is the key to green industry evaluation. From the connotation of green industry, this paper chooses green industry evaluation indicators with the extensive inclusion of green production, green consumption and green environment. Based on the principle of the maximum information content and the principle of eliminating redundant information, it establishes the evaluation indicators system of green industry. The proposed index system exhibits universal features of selection methods. Furthermore, the indexes of green industry formulated by authorities, such as EMCA, and designed for cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai in China, are described in terms of mass-elected indexes; these indexes can also provide important reference for green industry development in other similar cities, particularly coastal cities.

The inclusive green growth (IGG) model is an important tool to promote the construction of an urban ecological civilization and promote sustainable and green development, but China’s related research is still in its infancy. Targeting the problem of cross-regional research on technology set differences, this study proposes a method of combining the super-efficiency slack-based measure model and the Metafrontier Malmquist–Luenberger index to measure the IGG of 108 cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB), and analyzes their convergence. Earlier research showed that, under the metafrontier, the upstream cities in the YREB have the highest level of technological efficiency, followed by the downstream and the midstream cities, while the midstream cities of the group frontier have the highest technological efficiency. The main source of China’s IGG is technological progress. The YREB has obvious σ-convergence characteristics overall and in the downstream cities, and absolute β-convergence characteristics both overall and in three basins. This research has significance as a reference for the gradual improvement of the IGG of cities in the YREB, and ultimately their overall coordinated development.

The Banks will support the priority economic sectors development such as agriculture, processing industries, and infrastructure, Micro, Small, Medium Enterprises and Energy. Banks can participate by using a green loan policy. This research is a normative legal research, which focuses on examining the application of the rules or norms in positive law. The result is the Banks play a key role in society, banks have purpose to help develop sustainable economies and to empower people to build better futures. When banks will give a credit to those who have a business that has a direct impact to the environment, bank also can be offer a position as a manager of environmental recovery guarantee funds. In other side, Banks can provide green development, in a process of giving credit to the debtor; banks need to pay attention to the business legality of prospective debtors. Banks are required to ensure that prospective customers have a legal business and comply with all relevant laws and regulations.

Philippine maritime industry is considered as a vital component in achieving inclusive growth and socio-economic progress. Philippines has been known as one of the susceptible to the impact of climate change countries, and generally the changing climate hampers its economic development. The government committed to reduce carbon emissions to 70% by 2030 during the 2015 Paris climate conference. This study aims to map the potential sites and vessels for electric ferry operation for transitioning to green maritime transportation in Philippines. At present there are 83 ports and 110 ferries in the country with 33670 registered vessels as of December 2017. It was identified that the 9201 vessels with 10≥GRT≥3 will be used for electrification as a kickoff in implementing electric ferry since these vessels are feasible for retrofitting the electric system. Implementing green energy sources in the country’s marine transportation will reduce CO2 emission by 22.09% in the transport sector.

Full textAbstract:
In Ethiopia, famine and extreme poverty are a result of insufficient food relief, poor macroeconomic factors, climate shocks, undiversified livelihoods based on low productivity in rain-fed agriculture, coupled with institutional incapacity. To serve as a context, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the conceptual framework of human development and capability paradigm to food security. In addition, it highlights evidence and a comparative analysis of the Asian green revolution experience, and places emphasis on sustainable and intersectoral growth through agricultural transformation and promotion of rural non-farm economy agenda to reverse the trends of protracted food crises in Ethiopia. Rapid, science-led, and employment-intensive agricultural growth, accompanied by the promotion of the rural non-farm sector, is of great importance to the rural economy. These will bring about farm sector competitiveness and enhanced productivity, environmental outcomes, acceleration of human development, new opportunities provided to the small-scale food producers, and desirable changes to the rural landscape. The study further introduces a brief analysis of the prominent role of social protection instruments in strengthening food entitlements and basic capabilities, including individual agencies. It suggests that actualizing sustainable food security and hastening human development under Ethiopia’s exclusive settings require the recognition of the rural economic heterogeneity as well as holistic and pragmatic policies, which promote sustainable and inclusive growth.

The philosophy of innovative, coordinated, green, open and inclusive development, collectively referred to as the new development philosophy, is an important component of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialist Economy with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. It plays a vital role in China’s efforts to resolve problems in economic development and cultivate new advantages. Based on a keen understanding of the new development philosophy, we review the literature on the evaluation of a single indicator of the five dimensions of philosophy and that on a comprehensive evaluation of all the indicators of philosophy. The results show varied depths of research in single-indicator evaluation, and a lack of systematic study on comprehensive evaluation. We propose a multi-tier (macro–micro)-indicator evaluation system of new development philosophy, and recommend to establish a smart evaluation platform by integrating big data with traditional data, which will serve as a foundation and provide reference for the development of a scientific, well-conceived indicator evaluation system of new development philosophy that can guide the practice.

Full textAbstract:
The restructuring of the economy of countries of the Eastern Partnership with the EU requires new ways of implementation, which are based on the principles of ecologization, with due consideration of integrated indicators of strategic environmental assessment and balanced resource-efficient, environmentally-friendly production. Subjectmatter: theoretical and practical principles of “green transformations” as a modern direction of the world economy, based on the harmonious use of innovative technologies and the natural environment. Purpose. The main purpose of the publication is to assess how the “green” growth strategy is implemented in the development of the agrarian sector, the demonstration of the importance and efficiency of green growth indicators and their practical application. The realization of the purpose led to solving the research tasks: to substantiate the necessity of forming a change in the agrarian paradigm in the countries of Eastern Europe, to analyse trends of the introduction of green growth, to prove the importance of the efficiency of using the green growth indicators. Methodology. The basis of the research methodology is the dialectical method, which involves the connection theory and practice, the principles of knowledge of the real world, the determinancy of phenomena and interaction processes of external and internal. In order to achieve the purpose and solve the tasks, the following methods were used: system-structural – in the study of the sustainable development of the agrarian sector; abstract-logical – when forming, generalizing, and analysing tendencies of adaptation of the Eastern Partnership countries to the Green Growth Concept; comparative – for comparing the factual data with the theoretical ones and characteristics of changes in time of indicators. As well as the methods of description and comparison were used to determine the vectors for the introduction of green growth in the countries of the Eastern Partnership. Results. New challenges for the world economy make it necessary to modernize the economy solely for ensuring sustainable development through green growth. According to the results of the analysis, the essence of “green” transformations of the agrarian sector was established, which proves the regularity of the inclusion of the ecological factor in the system of basic socio-economic indicators of the development of Eastern European countries. At the same time, on the basis of the generalization of the theoretical provisions, it was found that green growth stimulates competitive, innovative, investment activities, which can lead to new sources of economic growth. For the qualitative expression of the indicators of green growth, the dynamics of GDP of the countries of the Eastern Partnership with the EU and indicators of rational use of natural resources were analysed and summarized. Conclusions. Given the above, the necessity to use indicators of green growth in statistical information is proved, which allows reducing risks of economic growth; reducing the risk of conflicts caused by lack of resources; balancing the ecological imbalance of rural areas. The practical significance of the results obtained is the possibility of their use in the formation of statistical information, and the indicator of the efficiency of agricultural land use makes it possible to trace environmental and resource productivity, multi-factor productivity, dynamics of land use, life expectancy. The research results can be used as an analytical and informational basis for further scientific developments in the field of research on the impact of green transformations on the sustainable development of the agrarian sector.

The modern fast-paced era, characterized by sudden changes in various processes, these changes can be both positive and negative. In this case we are dealing with a pandemic like COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the world hard, shutting down giants, locking most of the world's population at homes, "resting the environment", people using less transport, reducing the atmosphere, emitting pollutants, diversifying, clearing the sky, clearing the water and oxygen-loving fauna has spread. The process of overcoming the coronavirus crisis is a chance to achieve a dual effect - to stimulate economies - to create new jobs and at the same time accelerate greenery - to start a new design and revitalize a sustainable, inclusive economy and industry, to maintain vital biodiversity and biodiversity 50-55% reduction compared to 1990 by 2030. The European Green Agreement investment plan covers areas such as: sustainable mobility, renewable energy, building renovation, research and innovation, biodiversity restoration, circular economics. The Green Pact is a guide to the right decisions to respond to the economic crisis and transform Europe into a sustainable and climate-neutral economy. The impact of the pandemic on the environment in particular the pandemic and post-pandemic environment is interesting. The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the world hard, shutting down giants, locking up most of the world's population in their homes, resting the environment, using less transport, reducing emissions, making the sky more diverse, brighter and more transparent. The water was purified, oxygen increased, and oxygen-loving fauna has spared; In the spring of 2020, the water in the canals of Venice became so rich in oxygen and transparent that fish appeared on the bottom, Pisces, it was in Italy that the quarantine rules were introduced, reduced the flow of tourists in accordance with its accompanying actions. The work of industrial enterprises in the world has decreased, the cessation of Chinese industry of the world's largest polluter has drastically breathed the environment, people have seen the clear sky. According to the Energy and Clean Air Research Center during the pandemic, CO2 emissions from air in China fell by 25% (from February 3 to March 1) due to anti-pandemic measures. , Reduce production volume and restrict transportation. It is known that 30% of world CO2 emissions come from China. The number of "clean days" has increased Humans rudely interfere with the functioning of the natural environment and often lead to imbalances and deteriorating environmental sustainability! Deforestation and wildfires, a clear example of which is the devastating forest fires in Brazil. (These forests accounted for 20% of the world's oxygen balance). The European Green Agreement investment plan covers areas such as: sustainable mobility, renewable energy, building renovation, research and innovation, biodiversity restoration, circular economy. The Green Agreement is a guide to the right decisions to respond to the economic crisis and transform Europe into a sustainable and climate-neutral economy; Georgia's post-crisis plan cannot ignore the Green Agreement and the fundamental principles of sustainable development cannot be abandoned and do not keep the pandemic of the period, the "calm of the environment", at least in part, the greatest opportunities for the production of green products. Local products increased in the markets, the population managed not only to provide for their own families, but also to bring the produced products to the market and to supplement the family budget, the population migrated from the cities to the regions, thus unloading the city and improving the environment. Thus, the post-pandemic period will not be so alarming for the environment, if there is a correct vision of the states and the provision of measures aimed at sustainable development and eco-peace. And at once the giants will not be heavily loaded "Green life" will become our everyday life.

Full textAbstract:
The demand for water is predicted to increase significantly over the coming decades; thus, there is a need to develop an inclusive wastewater decontaminator for the effective management and conservation of water. Magnetic oxide nanocomposites have great potentials as global and novel remediators for wastewater treatment, with robust environmental and economic gains. Environment-responsive nanocomposites would offer wide flexibility to harvest and utilize massive untapped natural energy sources to drive a green economy in tandem with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Recent attempts to engineer smart magnetic oxide nanocomposites for wastewater treatment has been reported by several researchers. However, the magnetic properties of superparamagnetic nanocomposite materials and their adsorption properties nexus as fundamental to the design of recyclable nanomaterials are desirable for industrial application. The potentials of facile magnetic recovery, ease of functionalization, reusability, solar responsiveness, biocompatibility and ergonomic design promote the application of magnetic oxide nanocomposites in wastewater treatment. The review makes a holistic attempt to explore magnetic oxide nanocomposites for wastewater treatment; futuristic smart magnetic oxides as an elixir to global water scarcity is expounded. Desirable adsorption parameters and properties of magnetic oxides nanocomposites are explored while considering their fate in biological and environmental media.

Full textAbstract:
The dynamic development of the sharing economy is clearly seen in particular, in the area of tourism in large cities. There is, therefore, an increasingly urgent need to study its impact on the functioning of cities, especially when they implement a sustainable development policy. Therefore, the need to study its impact on cities’ performances is more and more urgent, particularly, when they implement a sustainable development policy. This study discussed the influence of a sharing economy in tourism on city sustainability from the perspective of the Agenda 2030 goals. The main objective of the paper was achieved, thanks to in-depth analysis of the content of secondary sources. Results of the analysis were subjected to the synthesis process, using the tabular method. In Agenda 2030, when diagnosing the importance of this issue, one of 17 goals, i.e., goal 11, and 10 tasks within it, were devoted to the sustainable development of cities. The results of this study showed that sharing economy in tourism has an impact on the implementation of seven of them, but the direction of the impact is diversified. The domination of positive sharing economy (SE) effects was observed in the following areas: providing access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all (Target 11.2) and upgrading slums (Target 11.1), while the negative effects were noticed particularly clearly in implementing Targets 11.6 (reducing the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities) and 11.7 (providing universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces).
