«Green Economy», Nuclear Energy and "Natural Capitalism": Dialectics of Development

Abstract

The article reveals the content of the concepts of "green economy"and "natural capitalism", the history of their appearance in science and the modern semantic context. The role of the idea of coevolution of the modern biosphere and the processes of transformation of traditional biogeocenoses into anthropobiogeocenoses with a decisive human influence in them is revealed. The risks of nuclear energy development and the state of the "green economy"are compared. The necessity of a more active formation of a new type of economy - an ecological economy that meets the tasks of reproduction of the natural environment is put forward and justified. The initial step on this path should be the adoption of the "Environmental Code"of the Russian Federation and the humanitarian reformatting of the thinking of the person based on ecological culture and ecological consciousness. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
