“Green” Standards as a Tool for Preserving the Environment

Abstract

At present, the ideas of economic, social and environmental balance of development, harmonization of nature and society are no longer new, however, the transformation of the economy based on “green” standards, taking into account rational environmental management and eco-efficiency, remains very relevant in modern conditions. The problem of environmental protection and rational nature management is complex, interdisciplinary and multifaceted. This nature of the problem is determined, first of all, by the complexity of the structure of the managed object. The most important components of the ecological-socio-economic system are nature, man, society and production. All these elements are closely interconnected. Thus, human well-being depends on the socio-economic level of development, the level of manufacturability of production and the state of the natural environment. The development of production depends on the number of workers, the level of their education and training, the state of health and the interest of people in the development of production. At the same time, production depends on the scale and intensity of the use of natural resources. In turn, the state of ecological systems to a decisive extent depends on the scale of production and the nature of production technologies, the results of their impact on nature.
