Abstract:
The aim of the article is to summarize theoretical approaches to studying the content, principles, tools of environmental policy and its role in the process of ecologization of economic development. Based on the generalization of scientific works of many scholars, the modern ecological policy can be considered as a set of ideas and perceptions of a person about the character of their relationship to nature, acting as the theoretical basis for the conscious regulation of these relations by subjects of the policy and orienting the society towards the implementation of rational nature management. There justified the goals of the environmental policy, which are broken down into three groups: 1. Preservation of natural diversity and the primary state of the ecosystem. 2. Harmonization of socio-economic development and achievements of scientific and technological progress with the state of the environment. 3. System support for the implementation of phased ecologization of branches of the national economy with a view to a systematic strategic transition to functioning under conditions of the green economy. It is concluded that during the period of changing socio-economic development paradigms to ecological ones, it is important that all the population be prepared for the adoption of a new, ecological paradigm of development of the country and society as a whole. It is the level of integration of the ecological and political consciousness of people that the character of socio-ecological interactions and the direction of their development depend on.

Keywords: ecological policy, ecologization, ecology, contradictions between society and nature, environment.
