This article focuses on the study of organizational and institutional support of ecological and economic security at the global level as one of relevant modern research problems. It emphasizes the need for a harmonious combination of economic and environmental tools to ensure harmonious development and considers the concepts of institute, institutional unit, and institutional support. At the global level, the article analyzes approaches to the classification of institutional units of ecological economy and considers the main reasons for the complexity of the classification of international organizations. The classification of institutional units according to general and specific features at the international level is offered. According to general features, the classification provides for the division by time into permanent and periodic. According to the sphere of activity, a division into political-institutional units (integration, security, coordination), economic institutional units (energy, resource, transport and communication, agro-industrial, financial, trade, recreation, and services), social institutional units (social development, cultural and educational, health, and physical education) is envisaged. According to the organizational form, the division into governmental and non-governmental institutional units is proposed. According to the methods and principles of activity, the division into lawful, illegal, and hybrid institutional units is proposed. The expediency of allocating a classification group – hybrid organizations is substantiated. By specific features, the classification provides for the division by territorial distribution (global, regional, and group), based on membership (open, semi-open, and closed), on a structural basis (UN systems and non-UN systems). As a result of study, a system of classification of institutional units for ecological economy at the global level was proposed. The main problems of institutional support of greening at the global level are also highlighted.
