“…It should be noted that the basis of the blue economy should be technology and industries that cannot harm the oceans (Buono et al, 2021). That is, the main focus of the blue economy is on the world's oceans, seas, and everything connected with them (Rao et al, 2020).…”

Purpose. This article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the transformations taking place in the business models of the drinking water market, to the study of their compliance with global trends, and to the assessment of the expediency of applying Ukrainian experience in the context of sustainable development of the Mediterranean region. Methodology / approach. Our research uses a qualitative analysis approach that carefully analyzes the international and Ukrainian practice of extraction and distribution of drinking and mineral water. It is based on a repository of best practices and principles adopted by world leaders in the modeling of distribution networks in the sector. Results. The main focus of the study is to highlight the primary importance of drinking and mineral water consumption, especially in light of external factors such as climate change, population growth and constant changes in consumption patterns. Combining international and Ukrainian experience, the study not only highlights the problems, but also offers effective strategies for the sustainable development of the drinking and mineral water industry. Perhaps the most important of our results is the potential reproduction of a unique pattern of water distribution in Ukraine. This model, developed in war-affected regions, offers valuable information to address water supply challenges in war-prone areas. This knowledge can guide efforts to achieve the goals of the blue economy and global sustainability. Originality / scientific novelty. This study is one of the first scientific studies to offer a comprehensive synthesis of international and Ukrainian experience based on the drinking water market. It not only describes changes in business models, but also reveals the complex process of their adaptation to the changing landscape of global dynamics. Practical value / implications. The findings of this research have profound practical implications that are reflected in the development of policy, corporate strategy, and community initiatives. They stand as a call to action for the imperative of sustainable water management, heralding an era in which innovation in drinking water becomes the unassailable norm. In addition, the study draws attention to promising investment prospects that reflect the resonance of population growth, aging infrastructure, pollution, climate disruption and the onslaught of digital technologies.

The purpose of the paper is to study the current problems of ecology and environmental protection, which is associated with modern sustainable trends in economic development. The growth of the world economy as a whole and the economic progress of most developed market economies is leading to increased use of natural resources and, at the same time, to increasing depletion and pollution of the environment. The purpose is to define the essence, the prerequisites for the emergence and development of the blue economy as a modern concept of interaction between society and nature through the economy, as well as to reflect the preconditions for the activation of a common green movement on a global scale in order to preserve nature and ensure the natural conditions of human habitation. The topic of the article is due to the need to disclose the current economic dynamics and the pace of social progress and its impact on the environment. In this regard, the essence of the blue economy, directions and principles of its implementation for the restoration and strengthening of natural potential are considered. Methodology. An objective and adequate assessment and analysis of the dynamics and directions of the world economy in terms of increasing economic potential and the production of economic goods to ensure the well-being of society makes it possible to properly assess the level of impact on nature and the environment. The results of such assessments and calculations make it possible to identify and correct existing and prevent the occurrence of potential errors in the choice of priorities for socio-economic policy and in making effective decisions in the sphere of production. The study is based on an assessment of the interaction between the economy and the environment at the present stage of civilizational progress. Results. The issues of modern economic trends and the environment and ecology are investigated. The essence, specificity and necessity of introducing the blue economy in modern conditions are defined. The need to protect nature and reduce pollution is becoming more and more relevant to modern society. Practical implications. The state of the natural environment and the possibilities of saving and improving it are studied. An adequate assessment of the state of nature and natural resources will allow the global community to conduct a balanced and effective socio-economic and environmental policy for the harmony of society and the nature in which it lives. Value / originality. It has been established that nature is the basis of the social and economic life of society and at the same time the primary goal of the progress of civilization. Economics is simply the means by which nature enables the creation of wealth for society. Nature can exist without humanity, but humanity cannot exist without nature. That is why the primitive form of nature and a clean environment is especially relevant, particularly in today's environment. To this end, a new type of environmental policy as the "blue economy" has begun to be introduced in the modern world.
