Relevance of the research topic. The current stage of economic development, accompanied by the growth of production and environmental impact, significantly updates the search for the latest mechanisms for environmental conservation and reducing the burden on it. In view of the significant updating of the issues of environmental investment and the reduction of the burden on the environment, the "green economy" as a science aimed at global changes in the organization of production and innovation, at the present stage of economic development, acquires large-scale measurements both in the frameworks of a particular country and the world in as a whole. Formulation of the problem. In the context of limited budget resources, a significant reduction in direct investment (7% over the past 5 years) and the simultaneous sharpening of the environmental situation, "green investment" is one of the most effective sources of financing environmental protection measures. They contribute to the growth of the economic and environmental potential of business entities, expand potential sales markets, increase production, and so on. Analysis of recent research and publications. The problems of the development of the market of green innovations are devoted to the scientific works of I. Sotnik, M. Chumakova, O. Prokopenko, A. Amosha, I. Buleev, V. Dubnitsky. B. Burkinsky contributed to the theory and practice of environmentalizing economic development, substantiated the need to introduce the principles of the "green" economy in Ukraine.

The field of application of results. The results of this study can be applied in the process of forming and implementing the environmental and investment policy. Conclusions according to the article. One of the most effective and topical instruments for today is the development of environmental investment. However, an analysis of the tendencies of financing and development of "green investments" has shown the low level of investment activity of Ukraine in comparison with other countries of the world. The hypothesis about the existence of the influence of instability factors on the above-mentioned situation was put forward in the work, it has made it possible to determine the most relevant, in our opinion, indicators of the impact on the country's environmental development, reliable estimation and forecasting of variability which will contribute to timely development of preventive measures aimed at preserving and increasing the level of environmental investment in the country.
