How do environmental technologies affect green growth? Evidence from BRICS economies

Europe 2020 Strategy highlights bioeconomy as a key element for smart and green growth in Europe. Bioeconomy in this case includes agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food and pulp and paper production, parts of chemical, biotechnological and energy industries and plays an important role in the EU’s economy. The growth of key industries of bioeconomy – agriculture and forestry – highly depends on an efficient and productive use of land as a production resource. The overall aim of this paper is to evaluate opportunities for development of the main sectors of bioeconomy (agriculture and forestry) in the EU based on the available resources of land. To achieve this aim, several methods were used – monographic, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, statistical analysis methods. The findings show that it is possible to improve the use of land in the EU Member States. If all the Member States reached the average EU level, agricultural products worth EUR 77 bln would be annually additionally produced, which is 19 % more than in 2014, and an extra 5 billion m3 volume of forest growing stock would be gained, which is 20 % more than in 2010.

The article is devoted to the content of the concept of "environmental innovation" in the system of socio-economic relations of the green economy. The genesis of the origin of the category "green economy" and the specifics of its functional content are clarified. It is stated that in contrast to international legal documents in the legislation of Ukraine there is no clear and systematic separation of the green economy as an important segment of the national economy. The article emphasizes the idea that the central place in the green economy should be occupied by two system-forming categories. The first is ecological management, which can be implemented in both commercial and non-commercial forms. The second is environmental innovation, as a source of the green economy gaining the same level of profitability as the traditional economy, and over time, its significant growth. Various definitions of "environmental innovation" are considered, as there is no single definition today. The article emphasizes the prospects of environmental innovations and the green economy in general, emphasizes their profitability. It is believed that caring for the ecosystem in which we live is not only a modern trend, but also a guarantee of stability of the entire biosphere. These aspects pose a large number of challenges to the environmental and economic legislation of Ukraine, both in terms of institutionalization of these categories, and in terms of providing them with effective implementation mechanisms. An attempt has been made to identify in which legislative acts these issues could be resolved. It was emphasized that the legislator does not provide any benefits for the introduction of environmental innovations and environmental management. It is proposed to introduce certain incentives for businesses that use environmental technologies or attract other environmental innovations, in the form of tax benefits.
