Experience in the Implementation of Regional Concepts for the Development of the Circular “Green” Economy of the Countries of the World
The purpose of this study is to determine in which directions the measures of the “green” economy are being implemented in foreign countries. To achieve this goal, the concept of a “green” economy and a “circular” economy was given; national strategies of the “green” economy of foreign countries were studied; the main directions of “green” regional initiatives were identified; measures taken in foreign countries in the selected areas of the “green” economy were compared. The subject of the study is foreign strategies for the development of the “green” economy of the region. The object of research is the “green” economy. The authors apply methods of empirical research (description and comparison); general logical (analysis of information, its synthesis and generalization, as well as abstraction); theoretical cognition (hypotic-deductive; ascent from the abstract to the concrete). The article considers examples of the implementation of foreign national concepts for the development of a “green” economy, which are associated with regional initiatives of Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, Belgium and the United States of America. The analysis is made on the basis of national strategies of the “green” economy, directions and initiatives. It is concluded that these examples of the implementation of the “greening” of the economy should be taken as an example for other countries, since work in this direction can improve the environmental situation, the quality of life of the country and a particular region.
