The consequences of the contradictions are highlighted by the establishment of environment-oriented international economic policies and instruments, by implementation of legislative support, by financial investments in ecological and innovation projects in the field. Every country should take into account orientation of development vector, applying predominantly economic incentives to sustainable economic development.
