The article deals with the features of ecological and economic competitiveness at different levels of its realization. During the research the main levels of ecological and economic competitiveness were distinguished: national, regional and enterprise level. The main paradox was the justification that international ecological and economic competitiveness is realized through appropriate cooperation. At the same time, those countries that are involved in the projects later have the opportunity to implement them much more effectively, using the experience and resources of the already established international financial environmental funds. The study of the regional level of ecological and economic competitiveness makes it possible to clearly distinguish the competitive advantages and all participants of the subject-object relations. And the level of the enterprise, highlighted in the study, allows to influence certain components of ecological and economic competition. Accordingly, identifying the tools and techniques for such an impact may be of further scientific interest. The author outlines forms of international cooperation in the field of ecological and economic development, which results in an increase in the level of characteristics of competitive advantages of individual countries. The study of individual elements of historical genesis and geopolitical features of ecological and economic development has confirmed some of the author's assumptions. It is justified that the regional level is fundamental in the process of formation of ecological and economic competitive advantages, as it is a central element of subject-object relations in this field. The level of ecological and economic competitiveness of individual enterprises makes it possible to effectively implement appropriate measures of a point orientation, but a synergistic influence on the state of development of the country and the environment. As a result, the author formulates his own vision of the modern essence of ecological and economic competitiveness and competitive advantages at each determined level.
