The article is devoted to the study of the regulatory framework for the implementation of the “green” economy policy in Ukraine in view of the current state of legal regulation of this area. The methodological basis of the research is the formal-logical and formal-dogmatic methods. It is determined that the development of the “green” economy in Ukraine is a strategically important task for ensuring sustainable development, preserving natural resources and improving the quality of life in the country. This task is especially relevant in the context of the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, which must comply with the European green and digital agenda. The concept of the “green” economy and its relationship with the concept of “green” growth are studied. It is noted that the basis of the “green” economy is green technologies aimed at eliminating the causes of environmental problems. It is established that Ukraine’s international obligations to comply with global environmental standards are a crucial element in forming the principles of the “green” economy policy, which are enshrined in acts of national legislation. The main legislative acts covering various aspects of the “economy” policy, in particular environmental protection, energy efficiency, waste management and other areas, are considered. It is concluded that the above-mentioned acts adopted by 2022 emphasize the need to reduce the negative impact on the environment. Attention is draw to the updating of legislation in the field of the “green” economy during martial law in Ukraine. It is noted that an important role in consolidating the legal foundations of the implementation of the “green” economy policy belongs to strategic documents. In particular, attention is focused on the Sustainable Development Goals of Ukraine by 2030, the adoption of which was an important step in the transformation of the institutional mechanism of the “green” economy of the state. A conclusion is made about the further transformation of the legal foundations of the implementation of the “green” economy policy.
