Transformation of the modern model of low-carbon economy

The article studies evolution of low-carbon economy concept development as a new model of economy and environmental regulation. The analyzed scientific research of Russian and foreign scientists allowed to identify main mechanisms, methods, and key factors of new low-carbon economy development and transformation, to classify energy efficiency indicators, as well as to systematize its current trends. To date, all international experts, politicians, and non-governmental organizations have come to a common opinion that “green” (low-carbon) economy is an important direction to achieve sustainable economic development, social policy, and environmental conservation. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that low-carbon economy development in the conditions of serious transformation of energy and global economic crisis is the main lever of gradual transition to ecological civilization, providing interaction, and coordination of economic, social, and environmental aspects. Based on the study results, conclusions have been drawn that can determine the key directions for forming economic development programs and projects to optimize energy efficiency resources. Considering global climate change, it is necessary to take a number of important measures to eliminate negative impacts on the environmental sphere.
