Один из ключевых глобальных трендов – переориентация мировой экономики в направлении её экологизации и построение зелёной экономики – пока неудовлетворительно учитывается Россией при реализации её стратегии развития. Катализатором экономического развития России и строительства зелёной экономики могут стать её международные экономические связи (МЭС). Цель статьи – выявление роли России в МЭС в области зелёной экономики путём анализа количественных и качественных показателей российского участия в международной торговле экологически­ ми товарами, движении зелёных прямых иностранных инвестиций (ПИИ) и научно-техническом обмене. Научная гипотеза исследования заключается в том, что участие России в МЭС в сфере зелёной экономики может стимулировать экономическое развитие и усовершенствовать его качество. На сегодняшний день российское участие в МЭС в сфере зелёной экономики остаётся относительно невысоким. Россия больше вовлечена в мировой импорт экологических товаров, чем в поставки на глобальный рынок. Доля страны в мировом экспорте экологических товаров невелика, хотя удельный вес экологического сегмента в совокупном товарном экспорте страны в последнее десятилетие повысился. Число иностранных проектов в области зелёной экономики, реализуемых на территории России, пока остаётся незначительным. Перспективным сектором-реципиентом ПИИ в экономике России являются возобновляемые источники энергии (ВИЭ). В области международного научно-технического обмена основное сотрудничество также реализуется в области ВИЭ. Расчёт индекса сравнительных преимуществ (RCA) доказал, что Россия обладает преимущества­ ми лишь по двум товарным позициям экспорта экологических товаров, основные потребители которых – Беларусь, Казахстан и Индия. Расширению участия России в МЭС в области зелёной экономики может способствовать комплекс мер по стимулированию производства и экспорта экологических товаров, по которым у России выявлены сравнительные преимущества, и привлечению ПИИ в эти отрасли.

Transition towards sustainable development and green economy is one of the leading trends in international systems. Russia, although, it formulated and has implemented its strategy in this area, remains on the sidelines of the process. Meanwhile, international economic ties under certain conditions can become an important catalyst of general economic advancement and building of green economy. The purpose of the article is to outline the role of Russia in international cooperation in the sphere of green economy by analyzing its quantitative and qualitative involvement in international trade of environmental goods, flow of green foreign direct investments (FDI) and related scientific and technological exchanges. The research hypothesis is that Russia’s involvement in green international economic ties might foster its economic growth as well as improve its quality. Currently, Russia’s involvement in international economic ties in the sphere of green economy is on a relatively low scale. Russia is more involved into world green imports rather than related exports. Its share in world exports of environmental goods is marginal, despite some growth in the share of environmental exports in the national exports of goods in the last decade. The number of green projects on the territory of Russia realized by foreign partners so far remains insufficient. A promising recipient of FDI in Russian economy is renewable energy sector. Renewables are also in the main focus of related scientific and technological exchange. The article reveals that Russia has competitive advantages in two commodity groups. Key importers of these environmental goods are Belarus, Russia and India. Thus, in order to increase Russia’s involvement in international economic ties in the sphere of green economy it is worth developing a set of export incentives for environmental goods, which show competitive advantages for Russia internationally, and to attract FDI into those sectors.
