Abstract

The article presents remarks about ecological aspects of attempts to overcome economic downturn by structural changes called “low-carbon economy”, aimed at decreasing emissions of greenhouse gases and transformation of energy systems. The main goal in long term is to create socio-economic development with gaining goals including overcoming problems with climate change and enhancing energy security. There are two methods to estimate current progress in transition to a low-carbon economy. However, due to the short period of time and limited data, none of them is effective and allows to answer the question about the real effects of undertaking ventures for the natural environment.
