Progressive development of technologies, fuel and energy complexes lead to a number of secondary processes 
that are to be solved by every country separately and by the world in general. Economic policy of the majority of 
countries is aimed to increase economic indicators values, these indicators help us to estimate development levels 
of such economy segments as: light and heavy industry, scientific and technical complex, agricultural production 
etc. However, none of the indicators allows evaluating and showing the real level of living, prosperity and 
welfare of citizens in a proper way (Richard, 1998).
A lot of developed and developing countries within severe reality conditions are coming to a consensus that a 
conventional scheme of state economy, that had been formed for years, fails now and this effects a lot of spheres. 
Surely, the most tremendous impact is brought onto national ecology, it is important to deal with issues on the 
effective use of energy sources, poverty eradication, solution of social and economic problems in developing 
countries and other issues that refer to prosperity and welfare of both whole nation and particular citizens. 
There is no doubt that an exclusively new approach to the economic policy can solve a formed complex of 
problems. A modernization of a classic economy into the “green” economy has become such quality transition 
(Runciman, 2012).
It should be mentioned that any novelty is treated in different ways. This transition is not an exception, and 
some countries (such as Bolivia and Venezuela) treated the suggestion on transition to the new system of 
management and distribution of national resources with caution. In addition, there are countries that decided to 
live in the shadow (such as countries of Latin America and the Caribbean region), and not to give their own 
opinion regarding this case. The aim of such kind of countries is to use a real experience of other countries upon 
which (no matter successful or not) they can elaborate their own system of economic policy (Joe, 2011).
