| Summary: | Realization of the concept of Russia’s sustainable economic development is connected with the need of developing and managing quite costly investments in nature conservation projects. The orientation on the use, for the most part, of government tools for regulating nature management will not be sufficient to encourage companies to adopt „green technology” as well as not to pollute, but preserve the environment.The purpose of the article2 is the analysis of advanced tools of nature management, used in Russia, and the development of the proposals on the development of market tools to encourage investment into nature conservation activities and projects.The analysis of the state policy on environmental safety and conditions for the creation of green economy revealed that Russia currently uses two main groups of nature conservation tools. First, they are instruments of budgetary financing through the implementation of government programs and federal special-purpose programs in the field of environmental protection. Second, they are tools of government regulation, including coercion tools (payments for environmental pollution; licenses, administrative and criminal liability) and incentives (investment tax credit, acknowledgement of non-taxable income and inclusion of income tax expenditures into the tax base; fee reduction; subsidies and grants for the development and commercialization of innovative technologies related to environmental protection; speeded up depreciation of environmental protection facilities; preferential loans for environmental investments, special tariffs on renewable energy sources, and others). Herewith the use of market-based instruments is not provided for.The paper recommends on the use of market-based tools of environmental protection promotion and management, namely, the mechanism of trading permits (permissive licenses) on pollution discharge/disposal is suggested as well as the prospects of the creation of the market of quotas on pollution. |
