Abstract: The concept of a green economy has emerged in recent years as a strategic priority for States and intergovernmental organizations and is a generally recognized model that focuses on improving the well-being of the population, achieving social equality, and significantly reducing environmental risks and environmental deficits. The existing definitions of the green economy are based on the definition of the UN environmental protection Organization, which treats this type of economy as not only increasing the well-being of people and ensuring social justice, but also significantly reducing the risks to all existing ecosystems. Based on this, the formation and implementation of the green growth model of the economy requires proper consideration of the relationship between socio-economic and environmental factors. The purpose of the article is to review the historical retrospective, analyze the current state and trends in the development of the green economy, proving the viability of this model of economy in achieving a three – fold result-social, economic and environmental. The retrospective analysis revealed the evolution of the essential basis of the green economy, which originates from the concept of sustainable development. On the basis of structural and functional analysis, the goal orientation, principles, tasks, and technologies for the development of the green economy at the present stage are identified. The review of the global state of the green economy showed that Russia is at the initial stage of forming a model of green economic growth. At the same time, the government is taking real measures to green the economy, which give confidence in achieving the maturity of the green economy in our country and the success of its tasks.
