Abstract
We examine the basic prerequisites for the formation of green development and green economy embedded in the documents of the Club of Rome in the 1970s, as well as in a number of publications of Russian and foreign authors. The various aspects of the green economy and green development identified by them, including geographical, economic, social, and environmental ones, as well as their interconnections, are given. Green development is the economic development or development of a certain territory in which technogenic and anthropogenic impacts on the environment are minimized and the biodiversity of its landscapes and, in general, its green vegetation is preserved. It is suggested that green development should be treated as the first stages in achieving sustainable development. In order to implement certain incentives and governance, it is proposed to identify territories for green development. It is thought that one of their most important components is the existence of specially protected natural areas and their combinations, such as nature reserves, wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, protected areas, and significant areas of wildlife. A green economy should become predominant, ensuring a rise in production with a reduction in energy consumption and an improvement of the standard of living with reductions in resources used and technogenic pressure on ecosystems and biodiversity. Taking into consideration these criteria, as well as approaches to the natural and economic zoning on the territory of Primorskii krai, five territories (zones) were identified that hold promise for green development. The characteristic of the natural resource potential of the selected territories and of their existing specialization is provided, and the priority types of economic activities that are compatible with green development are determined. The establishment of a special status (“territory of green development”) is suggested.
