The concept of a "green" economy is an important tool for sustainable development. The old "resource-intensive economy model" leads to higher costs and lower productivity. The idea behind the "green" economy model is that material well-being is not necessarily ensured by increasing environmental risks, environmental deficits, and social inequalities. Basic principles of the UNEP green economy: fairness and objectivity, both within one generation and between generations; consistency with the principles of sustainable development; preventive approach to social and environmental impacts; assessment of natural and social capital; sustainable and efficient use of resources, consumption and production, etc.
