Improvement of economic incentive mechanism for environmental management

For the purposes of developing and improving the system of nature use administration and the role of charges for negative impact on the environment in targeted financing of environmental protection measures and stimulation of rational nature management, we have analyzed the structure of economic mechanism of environmental management and have considered foreign experience of economic regulation of negative impact on the environment. The principles of a systematic approach to the study of ecological and economic development were the methodological basis of our research. Special attention has been paid to the incentive function of economic mechanism of environmental management. Increasing the role of this function can be achieved through the use of the authors’ system of fine sanctions being applied in the environmental sphere. They are calculated on the basis of manmade load on the environment and human health. As a negative effect indicator of enterprises’ performance, we propose to use the magnitude of risk for the health of population being located within the impact area.
