Many people today are raising the issue of sustainable development in the face of the danger of an ecological crisis. The economic, social and cultural evolution poses questions to which each of us is called to respond by reflecting on what are the emergencies of the planet, but at the same time to operate for the protection of health and the reduction of environmental damage. The natural disasters that have occurred in recent years lead us to reflect on the responsibility not only of man, but also the social responsibility of governments. So we ask ourselves: is it possible to achieve a green economy model? A famous economist has already mapped out a path to a non-violent economy, based on a model of accountability. This model states that every discovery must be evaluated by civil society, taking into account the balance between the resources used and the results obtained. To achieve a sustainable green economy, it will be essential to build a biodemocracy in which scientific options are widely supported and accepted.

As the world continues to urbanize, identifying and implementing new urban development models and strategies is necessary to face sustainable development challenges. To this end, the circular economy model can be implemented in cities in order to operationalize and achieve human sustainable development managing simultaneously, in a systemic perspective, the social inequalities issue and the ecological and economic crisis. Today there are many cities that are defining themselves as a “circular city” but, to date, a clear definition of this does not exist. In the transition towards the circular city, tools (such as evaluation, governance, financial, business tools) play a fundamental role. The aim of this paper is (after an analysis of the concept of the circular city and its implementation, starting from literature, official documents and reports) to identify and analyze tools for implementing the circular city model. In particular, a set of indicators to assess (positive and/or negative) impacts of projects and initiatives of the circular city agenda is identified.

The article presents issues related to the practice of sustainable development against the background of selected strategies and models of education. In the face of the ecological crisis, as well as growing threats to the social and natural environment, the need to modify education for sustainable development programmes appears more apparent. It has been proposed that this model of education should be supported by education for security, since security is a need, value, and a dynamic social process, and any actions in its favour, offer a strong incentive for people to be active and adopt new attitudes.

The classic linear economy model based on extraction, processing, production and waste no longer seems to be functional in a world where natural resources are starting to run out. For these reasons, the aim of this study is to analyse the transition from a linear system to the circular economy, providing an example of reuse of sea urchin waste for the creation of new eco-sustainable products. From a comprehensive literature review, it is provided a framework of all the properties deriving from marine collagen and other inedible parts of the sea urchin. Thanks to its characteristics, marine collagen is a valid support for production of biomedical devices, dermal implants, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. To make their core business effective, companies should not consider only the financial perspectives but also the social and environmental aspects. Therefore, this work aims at analysing these three frameworks using the Triple-Layered Business Model Canvas, which is a useful tool to support the creative exploration of sustainable and innovative business models. The reuse of sea urchin waste is a clear example of how a circular economy model can be adopted for companies to be successful. Through this virtuous model, they can be projected towards a green economy based on a more eco-sustainable vision.

The article examines the infrastructure approach to the implementation of the concept of sustainable development in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF). This is done from the point of view of compliance of this development with the so-called megatrends of the world economy, highlighting theoretical, conceptual, and technological aspects. he characteristic of modern geoeconomic and geopolitical factors of development of the AZRF is given. A brief comparative analysis of applicability of economic models that are relevant the concept of sustainable development in the case of the Russian Arctic: bioeconomy, green economy, and circular economy. A few conditions for the implementation of the circular economy model in the Russian Arctic is considered. In connection with the representation of the AZRF as a heterogeneous socio-economic, real-virtual, socio-cyber-physical space, a special role of logistics infrastructure is shown as necessary condition for ensuring the sustainable development of this largest Russian region. The emphasis is made on the need to conceptualize the concept of "logistics infrastructure". Based on a holistic approach to logistics, a 5-layer (underwater, water, ground, air, space) conceptual research holistic model is proposed that could be used for designing, constructing, and monitoring the system of logistics flows in the Russian Arctic. The result of an analytical assessment (in dimensions of "digitalization" and "sustainability") of the state of the Art and possible development for the underwater layer of the logistics infrastructure of the Russian Arctic. The conclusions of the article could be useful both for designing the logistics infrastructure of the Russian Arctic, and for designing the courses of disciplines of higher education relevant to the problem under consideration.

Today’s realities dictate to Ukrainian companies a management philosophy that requires them not only to maintain their position in the market, but also to increase the efficiency of their operations and development in the context of favorable and unfavorable changes in the market environment, which necessitates significant amounts of financial resources. In the face of global competition and the increased turbulence of the external environment, securitization is one of the alternative tools to attract additional financing as well as to minimize risks by which financial markets can support sustainable finance in the transition to a green economy. The article deals with the essence of securitization as one of the major financial innovations of our time. It is established that this financial mechanism allows to diversify sources of financing, to effectively manage the structure of the balance sheet of the enterprise, as well as to significantly increase the level of liquidity of its assets. It also describes the main types of securitization and their impact on the structure of balance sheet indicators. The practical relevance of the study is that the authors’ highlighted areas of change in financial performance make it possible to make an smart decision on the use of a particular securitization mechanism, considering the purpose of its implementation and the capabilities of its initiators, including in the transition to a green economy. It is suggested for the successful implementation of the concept of a “green” economy aimed at achieving sustainable development goals in Ukraine, using such financial instrument as sustainable securitization through the use of the collateralized loan obligation mechanism.

The complication of the environmental situation in the world makes mankind look for new economic models in which sustainable development is provided. With the growing population of the planet and its needs, there is an overconsumption of natural resources. The factors that are formed as a result of polymorphism of the system components «economy»-«ecology»-«society» are considered. It is proposed to replace the linear economy model, implemented in particular in the construction industry, with a model of the circular economy with its main imperatives oriented to biosphere-compatible construction at all stages of product creation while preserving natural resources.Keywords: circular economy, recycling, functional transformation, natural capital, greening, object life cycle
