The article presents the results of research on the essence of ecological aspects of world socio-economic development. The purpose of the article is to generalize theoretical approaches to the study of the essence of ecological aspects of world socio-economic development and directions of its ecologization process. In the course of the study, general scientific methods were used, such as: the dialectic of the general and the individual; historical and logical method; the method of scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis; method of analysis of regional and world dimension; method of system generalization, etc. In the framework of studying the role of ecology and its impact on the socio-economic development of society, a conceptual model is proposed that defines the positions of this area of knowledge, taking into account the objective tendencies of contemporary scientific thought. In the course of the study, it was proved that the formation of the basis of environmental policy, which would allow simultaneous preservation of the natural habitat and appropriate environmental conditions, create favorable conditions for achieving high indicators of economic growth and increase the level of welfare and social satisfaction of the population is a difficult but necessary task for all levels of social and economic development.
