Work directions of the Fourteenth international scientific conference in Sumy “Economics for Ecology”:1. Energy conservation as a factor of intensive economy development Role of energetic resources in material culture development defines interconnection between energy consumption and economic development. With growth of Gross Domestic Product in 6,4 times in the second part of XX century, fuel-energetic resources consumption rose in 4,9 times. Today energetic resources get the greatest importance for all economy branches development. Simultaneously their ability to be exhausted and their prices changing make governmental impacts and energy conservation implementation needed in many spheres of our life. 2. State Environmental Policy Prevalence of personal corporative interests with the purpose of income receiving over humane ecological principles is often occurred in production sphere. This phenomenon is closely connected with technocratic power growth. Government as public interests protection mechanism is obliged to elaborate and implement numerous instruments of influence and restriction in environmental protection sphere. 3. Problems of education, ecological education Nowadays ecological education has become one of the priority directions in educational sphere. It is effective instrument of public ecological consciousness education, leading to understanding of ecological problems and their solving necessity, and possible perspective ways search. Problems, which are considered in frameworks of ecological education, are often in economic rationality and ecological humanity spheres. Hence profound ecological problems understanding, taking long-term development and activity perspectives of humanity and resources scarcity into account, must be supported in numerous public spheres and brought up as modern person's component. 4. Rational economics and saving technologies Times, when the surplus of available production resources predetermined economic growth and welfare of particular enterprises and whole countries, passed long time ago. Now humanity faced the problem of depletion of energy carriers and other vitally important resources, without which it is impossible to develop stably. Together with the search of alternative power sources and new materials researchers are also imbued with the questions of usage in the most effective way of the traditional resources that yet remained. 5. Informational Economics We used to underline main productive factors within the framework of economic classicism. Last time thesis "who possesses information, possesses the world" has become extremely actual and forced us to change our usual views. Factor "information" has become the key one in competition conditions of market economy. All public spheres filling with numerous informative flaws pushes us to necessity of informative energy understanding, its interacting principles with a man, search of information management ways and modern informative society creation. 6. Greening Economy, Greening People Through the centuries a man has tried to conquer the nature with production capacity growth and new industrial technologies creation, which serves to improve our life. Simultaneously we don't realize sometimes that we live according to the nature laws and are its integral and important part. Greening economy is called to "make green" humanity life in numerous spheres, implement technologies, which give us opportunities not to conquer the nature, but remain as its part, create boon and retain our existing sphere. 7. Mechanisms to Reach Sustainable Development Sustainable development as one of the modern directions of "life style" has already proved its efficiency and solvency. Principles of sustainable development lead us to necessity of global thinking and local acting, protection of surroundings, people's health and opportunities of full self realization without excesses. Implementation of sustainable development principles in economy gives us serious ecological adventures. Sustainable development priorities discussing in further can help us in public activity distribution and involvement of interested participants in the greatest quantity. 8. Regional ecology It is possible to characterize ecological state at different levels. Sometimes large-scale governmental ecological programs can't take all regional problems and peculiarities into account. In this case last time regional ecology has become very popular. It solves ecological problems within concrete territories, which are characterized with unique climate peculiarities, technogenic conditions etc. This direction helps to determine effective initiatives in small-scale ecological projects. 9. Ecological economics in the context of globalization Active globalization processes in majority of world countries force us to realize their essence and consequences. Globalization touches numerous public spheres as economic, social, cultural etc. The influence leads to either positive or negative consequences in world countries. While universal democratic principles realization leads to freedom and international equity growth, cultural and economic laws spreading, differing from concrete nation's ethnic principles, leads to either aggression growth or national features liquidation as nation's moral death. 10. Correlation between economy and culture Economic science in its development is more and more penetrated with the questions of cultural components in achievement of success by both particular enterprises and whole countries. Relation between business traditions and features of business-making of different nations with their economic development becomes the decisive determinant of business success and national wealth. 11. The role of NGOs on the way towards sustainable development One of the most important components of steady public development is conversion of public sector, able to protect the interests of ordinary citizens. It is needed, when national or corporate-economic plans put the normal life of citizens in danger. But even in absence of the obvious criseses or conflicts, publicly active young people can make the contribution to providing of harmonicity in steady development. 12. The problems of transition of engaged persons of Ukraine to economically effective and ecologically safe innovative development In accordance with The Report of the Roman Club we have to introduce only those innovations which have resources productivity twice as much and half resources costs; it is guarantee cost efficiency and environmental safety. The transition of domestic enterprises to economically effective and ecologically safe innovative development will be stimulate improvement of enterprises' activity indicators and economy of Ukraine in whole, improvement of ecological situation, and also increasing of image of Ukraine in the international market. However, its realization involves many financial, organizational, informative and other problems. The mechanism of solve them would be develop. |
