Main directions of the development of the European integration policy in the context of the green economy

Abstract

The article examines the main measures of state policy aimed at the development of environmental awareness and compliance with environmental standards on the way to the development of European cooperation in the context of the green economy. Government decisions need to be implemented in the political and investment spheres, which requires the identification of priority areas of investment and the development of mechanisms and tools for their implementation. Measures can be adapted to the capabilities and needs of each individual country.

European developed countries develop a purposeful policy of sustainable development, focused on the cooperation of all business entities in order to comply with the principles of greening and socialization.

The purpose of the article is to study the main directions of development of the European integration policy in the context of the green economy, as well as to identify key strategies and initiatives that contribute to sustainable development and environmental security in the European Union.

Research methodology. The following methods are used to study the main directions of the development of European integration policy in the context of the green economy: Study of official documents of the European Union, such as directives, regulations and strategies related to the green economy; analysis of scientific articles, monographs and reports of international organizations devoted to issues of sustainable development and green economy; comparison of policies and strategies of different EU countries regarding the green economy; identification of common and distinctive features in approaches to ecologization of the economy. The research was conducted using special and general scientific research methods: synthesis, analysis, system of generalization and abstract-logical method for formulating conclusions regarding the conducted research.

Results. The results of our research allow us to state that the implementation of the "green transition" concept in the EU took place under the influence of the described global trends, within the stages that we have determined for the relevant global trends and in almost the same time frames; we called the three corresponding stages of the development of the green concept in the EU "Preparation for the green transition" (1973 - 2010), "Crystallization of the policy of green economic growth" (2010 - 2019), "Acceleration of the green transition after the pandemic crisis" (2020 - present time).
