Ecological footprint of modern socio-economic systems: measurement and trends
Annotation
One of the most popular environmental indicators is the ecological footprint. Its main idea is to assess the sustainable development of a country or region by quantifying the resources consumed and waste generated and their relationship to the planet's ability to produce these resources and absorb waste. This article aims to study various approaches to measuring this indicator and identify the main trends in the development of modern socio-economic systems related to their environmental footprint. As a result of the analysis of a significant number of domestic and foreign publications, the strengths and weaknesses of the indicator of the ecological footprint and the carbon footprint determined by it were identified. The conclusion is made about the need to modernize the traditional approach to calculating the ecological footprint. As the most appropriate method for assessing the ecological footprint based on multi-regional analysis of input-output tables, which allows us to determine the volume of bio-intensity of the territory and the ecological footprint of consumption, taking into account the global supply chains. Analysis of current trends in the environmental sphere has led to the conclusion that the traditional fuel and raw materials model of development has been exhausted and it is necessary to search for new alternative energy sources.
