Abstract: 

The paper presents the main methodological approaches of environmental economics for achievement of sustainability; the main geographical aspects of human and environment interaction assessment are highlighted. Practical aspects of methods and environmental economics implementation have been reviewed based on ecological footprint assessment of an ‘average’ Ukrainian citizen for the period 1999 to 2012. The discussion points regarding such kind of assessment methods have been mentioned.
