The role of environmental technologies in the training of future specialists for environmental and economic activity has been revealed.

The purpose of the research is to provide theoretical substantiation and experimental verification of scientific and methodological bases of application of environmental technology in economics students' environmental education. Future econoics experts' environmental and economic competence involves motivational-value, informational-cognitive, operational-activity components. The respondents' levels of environmental and economic competence were examined by means of a specially selected methodical toolkit. Experimental work was aimed at identifying the students' attitudes towards the content and quality of their training in terms of environmental and economic activity and the degree of interest in such activities. Besides, the possibilities of using new environmental technologies in the training of economics students have been examined during the research.
