Abstract

The article examines the theoretical aspects and promising areas of eco-innovative development of the BRICS 
member countries. It is noted that the modern paradigm of eco-innovations is formed at the junction of several 
theoretical directions, integrating the achievements of ecological economics, innovative management and the theory 
of sustainable development. Promising areas of eco-innovative development of the BRICS countries are highlighted, 
including the creation and implementation of technological innovations, the “green” transformation of economies, 
and the formation of platforms for cooperation and exchange of experience. The experience of developing the ecoinnovation sector of the Republic of Belarus is analyzed, including taking into account international cooperation 
within the framework of the EAEU.
