Abstract

Подано класифікацію природних ресурсів, наведено статистику поточного забезпе- чення природними ресурсами та частки наявності родовищ природних ресурсів у країнах світу та в Україні, досліджено водний та лісовий потенціал України, охарактеризовано програму збалансованого природокористування, ратифіковану в Україні, обґрунтовано заходи щодо збереження природних ресурсів, перераховано поради для їх оптимального використання на особистісному, підприємницькому та міжнародному рівнях.

The problem of using natural resources is very relevant. Today, media are often alarmed about the exhaustion of natural resources and the emergence of a catastrophe that is awaiting humanity as a result of its ineffective use. And this problem is not only world-wide. In Ukraine, there are also problems regarding the rational use, conservation, and, if possible, the multiplication and restoration of components of natural resource potential. It should be noted that regarding the availability of natural resources, according to the Ministry of Nature of Ukraine, our country is one of the leading countries in the world for the richness of mineral resources. The main problems solved today by many countries, in addition to inefficient use of natural resources, economically unjustified exploitation of natural sources, etc., and include climate change as a result of the above activities. It is believed that one of the most effective ways to combat this problem is to reduce the carbon footprint of the economy. Reducing the carbon component of the environmental footprint by 50% could put off the Day of Environmental Debt for 93 days. As for Ukraine, the unstable situation of the Ukrainian economy is still being solved by the exhaustion of national natural resources. At the national level, our state has ratified the programof balanced development, which provides for the rational use of natural resources. Thus, the priority direction of optimization of the use of natural resources is the introduction of the regulatory legal system of balanced nature operating in many European countries, namely the program entitled “Main directions of state policy in the field of environmental protection, use of natural resources and ensuring environmental safety”, approved by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. In general, the article describes the classification of natural resources, statistics on the current provision of natural resources and the share of natural resources in the countries of the world and Ukraine, the water and forestry potential of Ukraine are researched, the program of balanced nature management, ratified in Ukraine, the reasons for conservation of natural resources, were enumerated the recommendations for their optimal use at the personal, business and international levels.
