However, the study that would be aimed at analyzing the normative regulation of legal relations on the use and protection of the environment in the field of innovation has not yet been, which prompted us to choose this topic of research. Article’s main body. It has been proven that in order to achieve effective legal protection and development of innovative business, it is also necessary to develop and implement new legislative acts and regulatory norms that meet the requirements of the modern economy and technological development. In addition, an important element of legal support for ecological and innovative relations is the support of technological entrepreneurship and startups. For this, special support programs can be created that provide financial support and consulting assistance for young companies engaged in the development of new technologies. Incubators and accelerators can also be created, providing support for technological entrepreneurship from the initial stage to commercial success. Cooperation between international companies, universities and scientific institutes can contribute to the development of new technologies and ensure their global distribution. Conclusions and prospects for development. In addition, it is also considered important that the achievement of the goals of sustainable development is possible only thanks to the penetration of the ecological paradigm into all spheres of human life, in other words, under the condition of general environmentalization of the economy and society. The ecological component is presented for the purposes of sustainable development and is an integral requirement for their achievement. A comparative analysis of the achievement of the goals of sustainable development and ecological economy in Ukraine, with the help of relevant indices, showed a significant lag behind the country in greening the economy and society. Special attention should be paid to ecologization of economic activity.
