Review of Innovative Approaches for Sustainable Use of Ukraine's Natural Resources

Abstract

Actualisation of the global trend of sustainable development in Ukraine in the context of efficient use of natural resources and minimisation of dependence on traditional energy sources is a logical stage of society's progress. The article aims to analyse sustainable development strategies for Ukraine in managing its natural resource potential. The research employed a set of complementary general scientific theoretical methods, including analysis, synthesis, and abstraction. A comparative analysis of the efficiency levels of integrating green energy principles in Ukraine and European Union countries was conducted. Institutional and economic tools underpinning the "green" concept of resource use, which have proven effective in international practice, are highlighted. As a result of the research, the potential for economic incentives and motivation of the business sector to develop renewable energy, reduce emissions, enhance resilience to climate change, and efficiently use resources has been substantiated. Furthermore, the need to intensify the share of renewable resources in the national energy sector has been demonstrated. Principles for integrating sustainable development strategies into the socio-economic recovery process of Ukraine during the post-war reconstruction period have been identified. The practical significance of the research findings lies in the prospect of reducing the use of non-renewable resources in Ukraine for sustainable societal development, consistent decarbonisation, and the preservation of the natural potential of ecosystems.
