“Green” Economy in the Russian Regions’ Development Strategies

Abstract

This study presents the results of the «green» economy public administration general trends study. Besides, «green» economy is characterized as a special type of economic activity based on various biotechnologies and aimed at solving urgent environmental problems. It is emphasized that according to a number of foreign publications and domestic regulatory documents, the biotechnological tools used in the «green» economy framework are largely focused on the processing of agroindustrial and household waste in combination with the biofuels production. According to the lexicometric analysis results, it is shown that the «green» economy problems are already in the field of view in almost half of the Russian Federation subjects. At the same time, special attention is drawn to four regions (two regions - Kemerovo and Kursk, as well as two republics - Buryatia and North Ossetia-Alania), where long-term state regulation of the «green» economy development is carried out within the special laws on socio-economic development strategies framework. As a result, it is noted that the «green» economy has broad application prospects in various regions of the Russian Federation, in particular, in order to reduce anthropogenic pressures on the environment and ensure sustainable development.
