ECONOMIC PROBLEMS OF THE NATURE MANAGEMENT УДК 330.15:338.14:504.05 1Institute of Environmental Economics and Sustainable Development of the NAS of Ukraine ECOSYSTEM APPROACH TO VALUATION OF DAMAGE FROM ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION In connection with Ukraine’s preparation to accession to the EU, legislative acts include provisions for the implementation of an ecosystem approach to managerial practice. Therefore, it is important to develop methodological approaches to valuation of damage from environmental pollution based on the use of the ecosystem approach. The following issues are developed: (i) innovative methodology of ecosystem estimation of such losses; (ii) corresponding author’s model of estimation; (iii) classification of these losses; (iv) methods of differentiation of the size of its’ compensation depending on the type of ecosystem, which is a novelty of the research. Keywords:ecosystem estimation methodology, ecosystem approach, theory of losses, value of the “work” of ecosystem\\\'s assimilation potential, coefficients of assimilation
