Eco-Economy as a Concept of a New Model of National Economies Development

Abstract

Strengthening of the globalization processes, international cooperation, scientific and technical progress, and implementation of innovative technologies intensifies differences between economic and environmental indicators. For this purpose, an eco-economy involves the responsible use of natural, economic, and human resources to protect and improve the environment. If the eco-economy is guided by the principle of environmental efficiency, the consequences of the deep economic, environmental, socio-political, and cultural-spiritual crises that are characteristic of our planet and our countries will be reduced. This article examines the concept of eco-economy initiatives taken by international organizations to green the economy, and the role and principles of eco-management.
