Abstract

The article reveals the essential and substantive basis of the circular economy through its central component, bioeconomy, which focuses mainly on renewable resources. It is determined that the multifunctionality of raw material, secondary and ecosystem services of forest resources, as well as their cross-sectoral significance, form the basis of the bioeconomy and determine the need for the integrated use of forest resource potential. It is argued that the principle scheme for the development of the forest bioeconomy can be built on the basis of the EMF model. General and project tasks for the integrated use of forest resource potential on the basis of bioeconomy are outlined. It is emphasized that in the context of global climate change, the strategic goal of sustainable development of the circular economy in forestry should be to increase the potential for carbon deposition. The main content of the ecological and economic mechanism for managing the integrated use of forest resource potential on the basis of bioeconomy is revealed: the concept is formed, the target function and main tasks are determined. It is substantiated that within the framework of ecosystem management, forest bioeconomy should encompass a strategy for the development of ecosystem technologies to ensure the comprehensive, multi-purpose and integrated implementation of forest ecosystem services. The main organizational and economic aspects of stimulating the integrated use of forest resource potential on the basis of bioeconomy are identified.
