Abstract
The prospects of development of environmental entrepreneurship in Russia are considered. It is argued that environmental business is formed as an independent branch of the national economy simultaneously with the formation of a new market of intermediary environmental services. The definition of the concept of " environmental business" is given, its forms and types are considered. It is concluded that at the present stage of environmental entrepreneurship needs to develop a legislative framework, the creation of a pricing system for environmental services and tariffs. The task of state regulation is to apply the mechanism to stimulate private environmental business in order to save resources, protect the environment and environmental safety.
