Socio-Economic Essence of Pollution and Environmental Protection
Modern development of the economy is impossible without the use of natural resources. Accounting for natural resources in the system of macroeconomic indicators allows reconsidering the existing assessment of the level of the country’s socio-economic well-being. Modern development of the economy has a negative impact on the environment. At the international level, the issue of assessing the use of natural resources is reflected in the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity. In the development of the regions, the legislative acts regulate the development of the economy in terms of environmental protection.
