Environmental resources and values (natural capital) should be seen as a key factor in regional competitiveness. However, little attention has been paid so far to the role of natural capital in the process of achieving competitive advantage from the territorial perspective. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to present the results of a study on the environmental competitiveness of Polish regions. The author's contribution to the theory is the use of taxonomic metrics for research purposes. Based on certain predefined criteria the environmental potential of each voivodship was assessed in 2004 and 2012. For research purposes, 26 indicators of state, pressure, and environmental protection were proposed. Owing to the fact that the subset of diagnostic variables (indicators) contained elements that could not be directly aggregated, their unification was achieved using standardization formulas. The methodology proposed by the author might be used to assess environmental competitiveness in different regions or countries. The results of the performed analyses indicated that the Subcarpathian province scored highest in terms of environmental competitiveness, while Swiętokrzyskie province scored lowest.

This work presents a study of the essence of the “green” economy and its importance for improving the well-being of people, its features in contrast to the traditional or “yellow” economy, investigated its relevance to the innovation economy, to the sustainable economic development, to the economic development, and to the economic growth. It’s investigated the current level of development of the green economy in Georgia and its prospects. The vast majority of modern economies are characterized by the waste of natural resources, the economic value of resources is not maximally used. Such an economy, that is based on the growth of profit, on the maximum satisfaction of today's demands is called a straightforward economy. The linear (straightforward) economies have limited resources that are not effectively used and a large number of waste has a negative impact on the environment. The “circular” economy is the opposite of the linear economy, which is focused on the maximum utilization of the economic value of the natural resources and minimizes pollution of the environment “Green” economy, “Brown” economy, Natural capital, “Green” Growth, “Green” Employment, circular economy, Linear economy, waste, Environment, Protection of nature W pracy przedstawiono badanie istoty „zielonej” gospodarki i jej znaczenia dla poprawy dobrobytu ludzi, jej cech w przeciwieństwie do tradycyjnej lub „żółtej” gospodarki, zbadano jej znaczenie dla gospodarki innowacyjnej, dla zrównoważonego rozwój gospodarczego i wzrostu gospodarczego. Zbadano obecny poziom rozwoju zielonej gospodarki w Gruzji i jej perspektywy. Zdecydowana większość współczesnych gospodarek charakteryzuje się marnowaniem zasobów naturalnych, a ekonomiczna wartość zasobów nie jest maksymalnie wykorzystywana. Taka gospodarka, oparta na wzroście zysku, nazywana jest prostą ekonomią opartą na maksymalnym zaspokojeniu dzisiejszych wymagań. Gospodarki liniowe (proste) mają ograniczone zasoby, które nie są skutecznie wykorzystywane, a duża ilość odpadów ma negatywny wpływ na środowisko. Gospodarka o obiegu zamkniętym jest przeciwieństwem gospodarki liniowej, koncentruje się na maksymalnym wykorzystaniu wartości ekonomicznej zasobów naturalnych i minimalnym zanieczyszczenie środowiska. gospodarka „zielona”, gospodarka „brązowa”, kapitał naturalny, wzrost „zielony”, zatrudnienie „zielony”, gospodarka o obiegu zamkniętym, gospodarka liniowa, odpady, środowisko, ochrona przyrody
