The problem of ensuring the conditions of sustainable development is one of the most frequently discussed theme at international summits and meetings at different levels. The international community has recognized the degree of responsibility for future generations and outlined the concept of further development, but there are still difficulties in its implementation. The lack of uniform methodological approaches for the transition to a new development path, the lack of development of financial mechanisms and models of cooperation between international organizations and local communities - all require generalizations of modern experience and practical actions on the path to sustainable development. In this regard, the authors analyzed innovative financial approaches used for economic sustainability.
